Yes, that would be the easiest to use UI. While concepts like http://www.symphonyos.com/ are much closer to the Fitts's laws of UI design.. we also have to accept the fact that the current UI concepts derived from XWindows, MacOS and MS Windows in past 15-20 years... good or bad... have already become popular, have gained acceptance.
True but this graphical no-window animated desktop ( From now on, lets term this desktop as Animated Desktop ) will fill the gap between users and non-users. Nowadays our PCs are becoming more fast and memory resources are increasing but all this is still used to open the same standard window. India still has a lot of scope for adding new users who otherwise keep away from PCs. This is also aimed at helping senior citizens. It is not meant to be used in a professional environment. In linux we have the facility of switching desktops so by default the new animated desktop automatically starts and when an advanced user from the same family wants to sit on the pc, he/she will switch to the normal desktop till the machine reboots again. In windows we can't do that so we got an edge over them.
