A view of a possible future

I've seen numerous mockups of user interfaces - usually a neat idea which looks uber cool but would actually be completely unusable in ral life.
This video, on the other hand, looks like it might actually be incredibly usable.
I'm not completely sold - but it's the first one I've seen that I actually wanted to play with and see if it would work.

I tend to keep most apps maximized, or nearly maximized, and use the taskbar, or alt-tab for switching between them. This allows for nearly instant switching between windows without any dizzifying scrolling. Sometimes it is useful to be able to see 2 windows at once; in that case I like to be able to resize and position them any way I want to.
