Well, so now the way users of Windows normally navigate in their system
is called the "spatial way".

Here is a great article which explains the spatial navigation in the new
Gnome (available in Fedora Core 2 and Fedora Core 3).

"
Much has been said, and been discussed about "spatial views". Ever since
the GNOME hackers decided that Nautilus, the file manager in GNOME,
would sport a spatial way of working by default, the word "spatial" has
been in just about every other mailing list or review of the desktop
environment. Note that I don't claim to be a usability expert, but I'd
like to point out the vast resources on spatial usage, as well as show
how GNOME 2.6 actually makes you more productive. My base system is
Fedora Core 2, with GNOME 2.6.0 (so screenshots come by default, with
the BlueCurve theme).

P.S. I recently shifted from KDE to Gnome. So that explains my new found
interest in Gnome/Evolution. :)
