Actually, I think it looks like a marriage of the Amiga boingball and the Windows window symbol (eek!)

And why would anyone think there is any marketing value left in Amiga logos?

Hehe..I agree with the windows/amiga style as Argus mentioned :) I dont think this is any copyright problem, there shouldnt be atleast IMHO.

Ahem, seriously now...

I haven't tried the Mezzo desktop which they're using, but judging from the descriptive screenshots they have uploaded here, I don't think I'd like it.

Some of the points that are held up as "features" that I'd like to call "flaws":
- "Bumper boarders" (sic!). You can't move any part of a window across the desktop borders. Highly annoying, useless, space wasting and counterproductive, IMO.
- The special "Targets" (the "Computer", "Programs", "Documents" et c. "menus") fill the entire desktop when opened and hides any windows you have open. Idiotic, IMO. For example, if you have a text editor or a shell open with some text or info you need for eg. changing settings in "Computer", it seems like you'd have to remember or write down that info on a piece of paper! I also prefer to pick/start programs and run tasks from categorised menus over opening one big cover-all screen. I like to start "favourite" programs from small icons on a taskbar where they're immediately accessible.
- The words "NO CONFIGURATION" appear too often for my liking. I WANT to be able to set up my own programs menu, or change the appearance and order of window gadgets, for example.

It looks like it's more suitable for some sort of specialised kiosk or web management application, rather than a general purpose desktop OS.
