Don't let that 3d media center picture above fool you. Windows don't fly around in 3d. Its simply a horizontal circle of items like pictures, dvd, edit, etc, that spin around so you can choose your item.
Nothing else is 3d.
And in fact, I can't see how any of this can be done with a controller, the demos are using a mouse.
And its ugly... ugh! its uuugggaalllyyyy!
