You wont need to chase your icons all over your screen anymore. Just rotate your mouse wheel and let the icons come to you. It allows you to easily drag and drop icons to access them later on by double clicking on them.

Pretty sweet looking design. I've been using Rocketdock for years now, so giving this a try wouldn't be bad. This is very inovative.
