Miscosoft is already working on something, I think they call it
"chrome". It uses the thing that they are working on with 
SGI, the next step in DirectX (kalediscope?). Fact or FUD, I don't know.

You may also want to look at the Berlin project.

My opinion: 3d interfaces are unless with the hardware commonly found
on most computers. A 3d interface with common PC hardware would offer
few advantages over 2d --  and effectivly lock out not only low-end
users but also power users who like to compile 3 programs at once, play
gnome-stones, and browse the web and the same time.
