Launchpad
Launchpad is iOS meets the desktop, and quite honestly, I do not see the point. I am not using the multi-touch gestures (at least not yet), but the Launchpad does definitely resemble the iPhone and iPad interface. Apple does seem to want to simulate iOS across all of their platforms. Why does it matter to you? Well Windows 8 will have a start screen (that can be disabled) that does resemble the Windows Phone 7 interface.
