It’s a very interesting concept; very busy though. But then again, that might be what the specs are or what your user is accustomed to. I definitely like the color scheme, not sure I like the ‘menubar’. Love the ‘branching’, but think the viewer should be anchored or removed altogether and replaced with maybe a ‘fisheye’ way of seeing the columns(ie. the column in focus is zoomed in while the others are zoomed out).
I think the Apple Finder mnemonic is generally well understood – you could probably get away with removing the ‘viewer’ and the interconnecting lines, and having a horizontal scroller along the bottom. The highlighted location & desk give enough information about the hierarchy. Very nice, though.
