Super cool, although I would not use the Windows logo for the "Start" menu. Definitely change that and call it something else! I'd imagine Microsoft jealously defends that sort of thing.

I feel that direct mimicry of UIs and designs is a shibboleth of someone just starting out and starting to getting a good handle on tools.

Another is enthusiasm to share your own work with the world.

Neither is bad, but just something to be aware of.

I saw this in my own early work before I reached an equilibrium of spontaneous original designs.

If you look around the filesystem and find the author’s résumé in the Documents folder, you’ll find out he works for Microsoft. So I’d guess Microsoft doesn’t mind as much.
