I liked it for the most part. It would be easier to critique it if the camera didnt pan so quickly. I liked the idea of having multiple documents and document types represented in one icon, although there must be some limit to how far you could extend that concept. Same with the vertically stacked document icons indicating how many documents were in that group or folder. I dont know if the different views of the document library would really work that well if you had thousands or more documents. But I suppose it'd be easy enough to have a different view that shows a standard tree if needed. The little icon thing at the top was interesting, although it wasn't quite clear what the focus of that was. I'm guessing it was some sort of quick access thingy like gadget bar or something. I couldn't quite figure out what the point of the dragging and combining items in the taskbar was for. The animations overall I thought were pretty good. They appeared to be short enough so that a user wouldn't get annoyed and turn them off. The switch user screen was pretty bad design though, I certainly wouldn't want to allow anyone who wasn't logged on to be able to see a screenshot of my desktop. And overall it seemed heavily mouse-driven, which could be an accessibility nightmare. Overall though, I thought there was a lot of interesting ideas there.
