Seems a very interesting project. Just a few observations:
-clicking a .gif removes all devices from the list except the cd-burner
and the printer...what happened to wanting to copy it to floppy, or
another harddisk? Must be simply a bad example imho, clicking an mp3
later on on the page summons more sensible possible actions.
-You still need to select which cd-writer you want to use out of a list
of 1..but that could be changed depending on user-preference I guess.
-the more important one: finding files among massive heaps of files
requires meta-data. The page says itself: you almost don't need
directories any more. *Almost*. Directories can be bloody useful
however, and here they're hidden. A rant about meta-data:

My favorite quote: "Short of breaking fingers or sending out squads of
vengeful info-ninjas to add metadata to the average user's files, we're
never gonna get there."
Nonetheless, this is a very interesting approach, integratable with
existing software :)
