Its still Windows, just with an overlay.
As for Apple, they will see this, put it into a OSX version before MS gets 8 out and claim they had the idea first.

Well awood, Apple already beat them to the punch, OSX Tiger already has this type of overlay for the OS, it is called launchpad, and they let you choose which you want to use, and it is only ever a quick gesture away.
BTW, on the Mac, you actually get far *more* control than windows, you have the entire UNIX shell at your disposal, far more powerful and machine level than the windows command prompt, you also have automator and applescript. The Mac actually allows you to get your hands dirty far more than on the PC, it is one of the big misconceptions.
