That is called a task bar in windows, or Window list in Gnome. Nothing really new?

To me, the UX is improved compared to the windodws task bar: it is a more "sensitive design". For example,
- you can move the tasks where you want them,
- you have only one window visible at a time,
- ...
But this is related to the right brain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_brain), thus you may not find it useful.
You could have a look at the vision of plasma, the new abstration layer for KDE (http://plasma.kde.org/cms/1029) which is also aimed at "improving the right brain experience".

BTW, try the Hemispheric Dominance Test and see which side of your brain is dominant.

I'm a Windows guy, and I think your sticky Windows app is outstanding. The tabs are smaller than the task bar, the drag-and-drop is a very nice feature, and it seems very intuitive.
My compliments. The show was well-put-together.

Thanks mathdock for your comments, and even if I love that idea, all the fame should go to Donelleschi.
