I agree with you that multitasking is one of the things that OS developers should consider. As I've said in this post, I don't think there is one sample that has all the qualities, but I know that we really have to evolve in this area too.

The more I use the computer, the more and more important multitasking is to me. I think the evolution of existing OSes mirrors that pretty well. Win 7's new smart menus on the taskbar are a great way of interacting briefly with applications that aren't focused. The new tabbing system is good also for navigating lots of open windows. Linux is leaps and bounds beyond that -- Compiz is way more than eye candy, it's also a whole suite of useful tools for getting around a lot of windows. But here... The 3d one, the first thing I thought was -- sure, if you're only going to use one app at a time! That might be nice for an xbox interface, but I can't imagine a computer interface like that. The same with the seamless example. That's very cool for entertainment settings like a breakfast bar or coffee table. But it wouldn't work for a desk. Seriously, having to move an actual physical object in order to change what you're working on? No. Neat ideas ... but this is why they're concepts.
