We can do wire frames of these ideas, slap them together, perhaps with some 
simplistic animations to show various ways in which the system tray can be 
handled visually without "breaking workflow" or creating a completely new set 
of tools for the users to learn.

The thing is not to emulate others just to emulate them - but to keep a close 
eye at what works and what doesn't. 
Similarly - remaining the same just based on the idea that by never changing 
we never alienate any user would be equally harmful.

The system tray is the one major interactive point most users have with their 
hardware - its where not only stability but continuity is the most relevant. 
By merging the system tray windows for example (having an identical window for 
wifi as it is for battery, with shortcut-icons that can be used to move within 
this unified system tray popup) that sensation of continuity can be 
strengthened and enhanced. 

(wireframes and animation are coming, just not this weekend, but they are 
coming and you'll see the brilliance of them then and join the dark side ;) )
