Spring's a harbinger of a trend toward concept-centric computing wherethe concepts?people, places, products, etc?that define your life becomethe center of your computing experience with traditional applicationsand documents playing a much less important role than before.

Spring is an innovative, web-inspired desktop initially for OS X. It's a universal canvas where you interact naturally with singular, visual representations of the people, places, products, etc that define your life!

Imagine that you don't have to go to five different applications to communicate with the same person. Imagine that booking a flight or train is as simple as opening a canvas with a map and dragging between the two cities. Imagine inviting someone to a favorite place is as simple dragging a line between the person and place.

Imagine that sharing these items is as simple as dragging between any item and a person and choosing "AIM this to Mia".

Imagine desktop web personalization where you control access to your personal information and are prompted whether to allow access to things you've marked private.

Imagine an information dense user experience with zoomable, infinitely-sized canvases. Imagine an infinite number of UI possibilities! Imagine the liberating feeling from finally getting to play UI designer!

Imagine the possibilities when you begin thinking about apps and web sites as complementary, not central, to the people, products, places, etc. that define your digital life.

Here are some key features of "Spring":
Concept-Centric Desktop
1-Drag Actions
Drag and Drop Icon Management
