    the "quad" panning is quite interesting. i guess this is a special aol media centre :)
    but I still prefer the alt-tab to move the windows about.

    cheers ...

    I watched the Tour. I'm not at all impressed. I really saw nothing that I haven't seen before. And not to mention AOL is probally going to include the usual AD/SPY warez.

    I personally think AOL wants users to have everything under one roof for advertising/marketing reasons. Thinks this software will record tracks to some degree. Email & All.

    I rather use Acer Vista Grid if I really need the quad pan.

    Gnome is one of two major Linux interfaces. The other is KDE. Here is more reading info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME
