As Rod suggested, this is pretty old news.
This begs the question: has this style of user-interface failed to catch on more widely because of:
1) Technological limitations; 2) Insufficient creativity and inspiration; or 3) Insufficient usability?
I'm tempted to eliminate #3 on the grounds that I don't think this style of UI has been widespread enough to have been subjected to, and then failed, some sort of usability meta-experiment.
This is not to say that it won't ultimately fail such a meta-experiment -- just that it hasn't really had a chance to fail it yet.
