The user interface and how a we WORK with the computer

Working with the current graphical interfaces is a way to strangle your imagination. We have to memorize positions of applications, use single point of focus, etc.
I've just found out about an initiative in this area. It is the continuum. Please go to http://10gui.com/video/ and see the video demostration. The ideea is realy nice. It's an evolution. Considering the folowing the iPhone interface draw it looks like this could have some success.

On the other hand I think that this is ok for small screen spaces.
It is also a nice aproach for a casual user the needs only 2-3 applications to work with.

What about the heavy duty area of the computer usage?
My backgound is in graphics, page layout and some sort of software development. For those areas such lite aproaches are ... well ... limited. Right now I'm working at a graphical interface for a vector application. I'm using a dual screen system. Sounds good but let me tell you that dual screen is stil limited. I have a screen to look at the code and a text editor with to do actions that have to be writen as I discover anything that has to be adjusted. The other screen shares an instance of the actual interface I'm working on, the web browser, an icon editor and for now that's all . If I look deeper I can also consider that the browser also has at least 10 tabs opened permanently. That makes for a very clutered screen space don't you think?

What can I do? Moving windows left and right is no better than tabbing throu the overlaped windows. A better aproach will be to increase the screen space and/or try to guess what the user want's to do at a specific moment. The second aproach sounds interesting but I can think about some situation when no system will be able to discern what I need from it.

So, we have to go back to the screen real estate we own. Some time I use two or three computers simultaneously and share the same keyboard and mouse using a very nice tool named synergy. That makes for a really interesting work station but also for a lot of noise and I hate noise.

Anyway the ideea of multiple screens and even complementing this with at least one more syncronized system is much more practcal for a heavy duty production station.
