Stop claiming anything with a dock is OSX inspired, DAMMIT!!! It's a fact that Apple ripped off the idea from the various OSS projects, with the latest version (the dock in Leopard, late 2007) being a total copy of Suns "Project Looking Glass" dock that was demoed in 2003 and developed since 2001. Apple doesn't innovate shit, it repackages (although really well) and puts claim on the idea, not giving any credit to the inventors!

Jesus

I still use a CRT monitor. A 15" Dell CRT monitor. But then again, I don't work at Google.

@OMG! Ponies!: From looking at the pics (image 3 on the link) it looks like it is running on a notebook/netbook (That is if the square with the 2 black blocks in it is the battery icon) with a CRT monitor attached as a external display.

I still have 1 or 2 CRT screens somewhere around the house.

Looks like Rocketdock/stardock/some sort of dock. On a windows XP system with the start bar photoshopped out, along with the "_ [] X" area photoshopped out.

Edit: After looking at it closer and more, it does look like there is a green area on the bottom left of the 2nd image. A area that looks like a faded out "START" area from Win XP.

edit 2: Thank you very much for the star :). *bookmarks this topic*

@KTK1990: If you look at the original link, the funkiness in the bottom left isn't a Start menu, but version information. Granted, I'm not saying if it is or is not real, just wanted to point out that correction.

@KTK1990: Don't want to rain on your parade, and I do also think this is a shop-job, but I think the green start button 'residue' is just screen burn-in, since this is a CRT monitor.

Edit: I'm an idiot. Saw enlarged pic.

The only reason I can think of them using something janky enough to have a CRT is that they wanted to see how it would run on an older system.
