    I remember back in the day, Linux users couldn't shut up about that damn cube. It was the coolest thing on Linux, apparently. I've been using Linux for almost 20 years now, and I've never seen it.

      I was never much of one to use multiple desktops, but visually, back when XP was the best Microsoft had, it felt like magic to see your windows show up in 3D. Things like wobbly windows and flame closing also seemed like magic. Someone truly outside of what was possible on Windows. In the end they were a fad, but they were a good demonstration of the power and customizability of Linux.
