Dont forget both solutions just emulate this feature as the modern gfx hardware doesnt support real dragging like on AGA.

Havent miss this feature but its nice to see it now lives on newer hardware.

Hi Piru,
why don't you let me dream ? (looks at my machine list  :-P  )
Imagine that it convert quickly the 2 "screens" (screenshoots) as 2 patterns applied to a 2D form that you could move it like the way you want in a 3D world. Sun showed that years ago and M$ picked it up into Vista.
I'm sure you remind about the Warp3D demo test, i'm sure it's possible to do that.
And it will be fun to show that to a pro-M$ Vista user. And with the drag feature, imagine his face  :lol:
That's why i was thinked about WOS/W3D, it seems to be possible.
Don't you think so now ?   :-)
What does the author of Dragon thinking about that ?  :-?
Keep the Faith !

It's sure possible in theory, but copying two full screens worth of vmem is way too slow. It'd take upto several seconds to be able to begin dragging (and this would be with static screens, no realtime updates). It's not feasible with Warp3D at least.
