It definitely does not look ANYTHING(:-))like Window$ 7 the little bit 
I've seen of the critter (M$ that is.) I'm still using F15 Alpha RC3 and 
have actually gotten to really like Gnome3 Shell and used to it to the 
point that I screw things up on my F14 based system when I switch back 
to that. Also as I've pointed out on earlier post the UI is written in 
Java Script, so if you're good with Java Script you can write your own 
extensions or even tweak the source code. Unfortunately they haven't 
locked in the code yet so a future update could very well break your 
source code changes. Also they don't have a published API out yet so 
your extensions may also break in future updates, from what I've read so 
far.

The one thing that I did right away was change the background with one 
of my choosing as I did not care for the one on the Alpha-RC3 version, 
the GUI for the desktop in system tools actual worked in that version, 
the RC1 & 2 didn't and you had to manually edit the file pointing to the 
image.

Also I've seen something floating around about a User Themes extension 
that will than connect some way to gnome-tweak-tool so that you can 
change the desktop theme. As is you have to manually make the changes of 
replacing the files in the default folder with any existing other themes 
out there. I believe one of his blogs at that site has a link to another 
site that has other themes available.
