have to admit like the other person responding that the wobbly windows really doesn't offer up much other than eye entertainment.
however, the spinning cube and some other features like the real thumbnail (during alt-tab) do have real uses and in fact are there to help increase productivity. we've actually tested this out in a small call center of ours where we have the operators step folks through a loan application. In reality this process utilizes a few applications on our end as they get through the process (customer database, loan database, credit checking app, etc.)...and we ended up putting each application on a seperate face of the cube. this made things much easier for the folks on the phone so they just flip back and forth...much easier and in fact quicker than minimizing/maximizing windows.
At least this was in our case where we found it very useful...and honestly we did disable some of the other eye-candy for those folks too...but they loved it...
