What's so great about the Mac OS dock? I see countless projects and tools emulating it for Windows or Linux. Not being a Mac user myself, I don't have much first-hand experience with it, but what little I had left me unimpressed. I was unable to tell currently-running programs from shortcuts to start new programs, and that seems pretty important if you're trying to switch to another running process. Perhaps it's balanced with other OS X features that make sense of it all.

LOL!
At this risk of massive flaming, I put forward that using a mac is more about image than computing.
While my jaded existence within the marketing and advertising universe may slight my vision, I still can't help but feel that Apple is more marketing than machine.
Why else would people pay more for less?
Just re-reading my comment, I didn't actually refer to your blog.
I personally haven't used it either, but I can't imagine how it would be any more useful than a toolbar with quicklaunch. But I agree there may be more I'm unaware of through lack of use.
A lot of people crow about the ease of use or security, but style probably is one of the bigger items on that price tag.
