It offers innovative interactions between windows and gives you as many ways to manipulate windows on your desktop as you can imagine. Metisse seems to be a 3D desktop like Compiz or Beryl, but it’s actually a different thing — a unique concept for Human-Computer Interface. Metisse does not require a 3d-accellerated desktop to work. It is not necessary to have a supercomputer to use it. Metisse performs reasonably even on elderly computers. You can download it as a LiveCD with Mandriva One 2007 and GNOME (KDE will be added later — with version 4). It is also available standalone, to be used in any other GNU/Linux distribution.The two-fold desktopMetisse is a window manager developped by the In Situ project. Available under the GPL Licence and in exclusivity for Mandriva Linux, Metisse differs from a classic 3D desktop ("the cube") in the way that it offers innovative windows interactions, thus enforcing work efficiency. The copy-paste feature is the most easy and amazing example of Metisse full power.<a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x11e0x_mandriva-linux-2007-metisse-copy-pa" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.mandriva.com/var/mdk/storage/images/media/images/copy_en__1/269561-1-eng-US/copy_en_large.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Increase Depth PerceptionMetisse is not only visually impressive. It also allows us to imagine news ways of interaction with machines. "Metisse allows anyone to discover, right now, what will be the next steps in Linux Desktop evolution. And that's exciting!" says Frédéric Crozat, Senior GNOME Developer at Mandriva. Mouse-clicking has never been that interesting.<a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x11dzi_mandriva-linux-2007-depth-perceptio" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.mandriva.com/var/mdk/storage/images/media/images/oo_ff_en__1/269576-1-eng-US/oo_ff_en_large.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>You thought you knew what 3D was...Virtual desktops changed it all. More applications, more possibilities and yet, one single screen, not even a 22" one to handle all our actions and thoughts on a computer. Organization is a tricky thing. Like a painter would take a few steps back to see the big picture, zoom out !<a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x11dan_mandriva-linux-2007-metisse-pager" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.mandriva.com/var/mdk/storage/images/media/images/pager2_en__1/269582-1-eng-US/pager2_en_large.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Pass through the mirrorOnce you watched our videos, do not hesitate to download and test the <a href="http://www.mandriva.com/en/download/otherdownloads/metisse" target="_blank">live CD</a>.
