With more than one cube, E17 will deliver what I've come to expect from E16 - 
multiple desktops each with multiple windows and and easy way to view and 
select between them.  They run it on a EEEPC, so the performance hit is not 
so bad.  With 3D accel, it looks as fast or faster than E16 in 2D.  

While Windows 7 tries to catch up to KDE and Mac, free software is leaving 
them that many more years in the past.  Well, it's not entirely free.

It's got non commercial clauses.  That's a shame and it will cause delays 
between when they get things done and when the rest of the world will have it 
as free software.  Take what it gives.
