So, I wanted to go and check them.

The result is that they all have big UX issues. Like assuming 4 
virtual desktops and only one monitor. Or no animation in the 
case of flipping through windows in flipswitch.

It sounds like the code quality was the reason this wasn't made 
more polished and in my experience its then better to drop them 
and open up the space for new innovations.
