What is the advantage of taking the virtual windows off of a virtual desktop and making them physical windows on a physical desktop? I don’t really see the application for it….
You are being far too literal and lack creativity and vision.

You also totally miss what I have said.

*whoooooosh*

What I had qualified was that in the displayed form it is not practical and is nothing more than a "glass" version of "windowed"apps.

This I identified and qualified a number of times.

What I then went on the discuss was that if the funtionality could be implanted into a SINGLE component that was not dependant on the substrate it was plugged into - then the vision of the above story is good and desirable.

Take "the tile" and place it on the patient chart - uploading the data.

Edit manipulate and perhaps send the data by placing the cell phone on "the tile".

Pay for the medicine by placing card on "the tile".

I guess reading all those ebooks you forgot to concentrate on comprehension.
