I think this represents a new layer of the user interface for desktop computing.
The Macs will now have three user interface layers:
1. Full-Screen Interface - Mission Control, LaunchPad, Dashboard,
FullScreen Apps, ...
2. Traditional Mac GUI - menu bar, windows,

It is amazing how people see a new feature and automatically seem to assume
that that feature is going to become the only way to interact in the future
For example, this full-screen stuff etc. I seriously doubt that Apple, anytime
in the near or near-far future will get rid of windowing etc.
