drag and drop in Flip 3d

will it be possible to use drag and drop in flip 3d - for example to drag a
file in one explorer window, find the other with flip 3d [since explorer
currently doesn't have quicktabs *waah*], and than drop it in the selected
window?
or drag an image from explorer, find the ms office word window through flip
3d and drop it there...

I'm afraid not - Flip3D is a graphically rich application which causes your
windows to joint at an angle and cycle through at a keypress - it's just a
time saving window switcher basically, and that's all it is (

it is possible in Mac OSX with expose, so why shouldn't it be in vistas
flip-3d?
i tried it with flip-3d, it does show me the "drag and drop" mousepointer
after flipping to another window while draging a file from explorer, but when
i release the mousebutton it doesn't do anything... maybe just buggy until
now?
