Its good for a one single monitor. but I have dual (2) monitors. Not good. Because when I want to put some photos (i.e. 500 photos) it sends a copy on the other one, which pretty much stuffed every inch of the screen.

Yes, I will never try it out.

I am not interest in fancy desktop like bumptop. That's not important fancy desktop for me. Most important for me to photo business in my laptop and desktop computer. I am freelance photo for NCAA football, some other sport in colleges and Rivals.com

I will not install junk stuff in my computer. No reason to play with fancy desktop. Most important to run photoshop, acrobat Prof, Internet, other apps. If, I add some junk stuffs to make slower running and take little longer wait to boot up.

Okay, I'm not very impressed at all (note that this is my first impression).

First, I'd like to take control over how the "camera" are positioned in the 3D desktop. I'd rather prefer a position that "stands out straight" instead of "rolling your head back" just to look at the picture of a Flickr frame (never used Flickr). I've removed a couple of junk (except for my icons and the picture frame in the wall) to clean up the desktop area.

Second, I didn't see a way to change the look of the wall. I assume it's in the "more options" when I right-click in the empty area of the wall. But I can't bring this up, which leads to the last part of my first impression.

Last, but not least, selecting "pile by type" or "more options" does seem to hide the dialog behind the BumpTop, which tells me it looks much like an application than a shell, like the explorer.exe shell for Windows or GNOME or KDE shell (I know it's just a desktop environment) for Linux. IMO, it gives me the impression that I'm running a beta version of BumpTop and there are some bugs that still need to be worked out.

So, with my first impression out of my way, I'd like to go through not-so "awesom stunt" features.

Sticky Notes -- I'd prefer to write down tasks in Outlook, but to each their own.

Toss files onto USB keys -- Not so awesome. It's just like when dragging files to a USB drive that is in "My Computers" explorer or when using Linux, such as Ubuntu.

Most used files automatically grow -- Who cares?

Flipping through Piles -- Again, who cares? I'm not that cool to have so much of bragging rights...

Thumbnail Previews -- No big deal. Note that I've not taking fully advantage of BumpTop, so I'm not sure how noticeable they are.

Customer Support -- Forums, anyone?

The price of BumpTop has -- no value to offer for me. In my opinion, it'd probably belong in a Mac instead of Windows -- for those who value bragging rights and coolness more than anything. Me? I'd take a boost of productivity anyday and get my work done, even though I'm just a computer geek.

To summarize my thoughts and opinions, here's my question and my answer: Would I recommend BumpTop to someone who loves to work with 3D desktop? No. Even though there are some who'd like to have bragging rights and be cool (even in Windows), I don't see how much value they can get out of a $30 software. I'm just trying to be wise, though.

Update as of 11:32 PM EST: When I uninstall BumpTop, a web page in Firefox came up and it gave me a welcome to BumpTop Pro. Huh? I'm confused since I've already uninstalled it. :( As an addition to that, I saw "Your BumpTop key is" but it does not give me the key. I couldn't remember what it said.

I agree.... I do not feel like to re-install everything. Too much time to double check what I have back up my files before re-format HD. Can't afford waste my day.

that's why I have partition and 2nd hdd. here's how it works -

Primary Drive - it is partitioned into 2 drives - C and D. C-drive is for OS and programs. D-drive serves as extra storage for C-drive aka junk drive.
Secondary Drive - it stores all my personal files

after clean reformat and installation of all vital programs... I use Clonezilla program to make a back-up IMAGE copy of C-drive to Secondary Drive. Once that's done, I use Mozy to make regular backup of vital files (photos/documents) of my Secondary Drive.

that's it! This saves 95% of my time if my comp needs a reformat. If I need to reformat my C-drive, I'll just simply re-flash it with IMAGE file and it's back to normal. I don't need to worry about backing up my personal files cuz it's stored separately :cool2:

Same here. Backup is wasted of time. I already create the two partitions when I build the computer for customer. I changed from C:/ to D:/ for my document. Then create the image from C:/ then save on the D:/.

yes, two days ago my son and I worked together to building his new computer system. I got ASUS motherboard for $5. He got Intel CPU E8500 for $125. He asked me how to mount Intel's CPU's fan. That's good for him to learn how to....

Tonight, my friend will see me to fix his computer.

Oh man, what a bunch of crock, Vista Aero vs Linux, please. First of all Vista Aero has lot more options offered than was showed. One example is the dreamscene desktop. I currently have a waterfall background-a living moving waterfall on my desktop-it's like looking though a window. This is typical biased linux propaganda. That error at the end just happened to be when they were demonstrating Windows XP when it first came out not Vista. Most of the stuff shown on the linux side was useless to begin with. The only advantage Linux has is it's cheaper-not by much because this version of Linux shown cost money.
