Steve Turnbull, then-editor of The Micro User gave it an interesting and enthusiastic write-up. Beautiful though the RISC OS Desktop was, the underlying technology didn't really hold up in the long run.

I still use my RiscPC on a weekly (and sometimes daily) basis. It would have been fun to have a Risc iX or Galileo core (or some other technology not bound to the BBC Micro way of doing things) that retained the usability and snappiness of the Desktop.

What kind of 3D work were you doing?

Edit: It was Acorn User (not The Micro User) which featured the write-up on Taos, in 1995. A link to the article can be found on the Wikipedia page for 'Virtual Processor'.
