I always wondered why those Bluetooth laser keyboards for PDAs/cell phones never worked like that. My biggest question regarding the 10/GUI video is: does having all of the windows in a horizontal array actually make the windows easier to find than our current random window model? They suggest it does, but I'm not sure I'm convinced. If you applied some GUI math for distance traveled I bet you could figure it out, but if the horizontal array wins, I bet it's only by marginal means. I think accessing windows on the ends of the array would still be cumbersome. I like your idea of having the keyboard work on a relative basis.
