Clever, but how useful will it be? My initial comments:

The demo page took 3-4 MINUTES to load, I almost gave up waiting (and I'm on a T1).

When I clicked on "New Window" the new window took over 30 seconds to finish loading. This is unacceptably slow.

The new window does not restore properly when you click the maximize button, then click it again to restore the window to it's original size. It just gets a little bigger, and forces scrollbars to appear in the main window.

Every time I mouse over something like the control menu icon in the top left of the new window another 30-40 images get downloaded, taking another 15-20 seconds.

I cannot get the new window to close no matter what I click.

Overall it is dark and kind of ugly. If you're going for a windows-like appearance it should be brighter and clearer. I didn't see any white, silver or gray at all. Personally I'd have to have to use software that was that dark.

Sorry to sound so negative, I wanted to find something cool and useful about it, but I really couldn't find anything I liked.
