I still remember the first time I saw the demo video where they flip a window around and write a note on the back of it. Blew my mind.

I went to university with David Reveman. He did his master's thesis presentation about compiz (or actually glitz which was a precursor) as slides on the top of the cube, and everybody just assumed it was PowerPoint. Then when it was time for a demo he just flipped the cube around to the Gnome desktop. People's jaws dropped, it was amazing, 🙂
