The idea is that you can make it any way you'd like, things that need 
more emphasis and "permanence" would be prominent and easily accessible 
(most likely by hot-key, etc).  When you think about it in depth, it's 
capable of the exact same experience without all the strange metaphors 
we have currently.  It's also not meant to be just documents, it's meant 
to contain ALL applications.
