Amazon Launches Window Shopping E-commerce Site. Thoughts?

From Amazon's blog: You can use the power of your fingers (and arrow keys) to move and browse through best-selling Amazon.com products in different categories. Even see a cool preview of a movie or listen to a sample MP3 song by just hitting the space bar on the keyboard. You have to see it to believe it.

The tool shows all best-sellers and new releases in Books, Music, Video, Video Games categories. Also, there is a very interesting chronological aspect that drifts the older content slowly to the right as new fresh content is pushed every Tuesday!

Try it out here. Thoughts?

It's very mac inspired. I think it's simply a matter of time that there is an influx of sites like this one. And as exciting as it is, I will always be that kid who hits the pavement for a good old fashioned, face to face real life window shopping experience. No?
