Mac users will say that they stole the dock from apple, even though it looks more like the riscOS dock then the mac one and doesn't really behave like either.
Windows "power users" will be up in arms, sign online petitions, and flame it on message boards like this one, never realizing that the only people who care are themselves.
Linux users will cite it as yet another reason that people should switch to linux, glossing over all the massive interface changes people would have to get used to.
Interface experts will praise it, like they did the ribbon in office.
The 80%+ of normal users will take about a month to wrap their heads around it, then end up liking the change, just like the ribbon in office.
