Hi Rob first of all I think it would be a good idea if we could comment on each change seperatly somehow. I would prefer a comment function directly on the mockup page if that is possible.
Other than that there are a few things I don't like about the changes: 1) The tabs in the Task dialog should stay at the top. This is a common design rule and users are used to tabs being at the top. The Close button as part of the tabs isn't that perfect anyway but the rest of the UI shouldn't suffer from that button being in the wrong corner. 2) I think the Close button should be in the right bottom corner because it will usually be the last thing you want to hit. That means for most of us left-to-right top-to-bottom readers it should be positioned on the right side and at the bottom. There is an exception though for example in dialog with Close and Cancel or Select and Cancel. Since Select/Close are actually the more relevant buttons they should be position "before" the Cancel button. And while we're at it we should revise the button sizes. Buttons should be at least as big as a finger width to be able to press them properly...
