So how does that new taskbar work?

Have they just stripped the text and made the icons bigger?

Or is it something completely new?
It has big icons in the Quick Launch tray. When a program is launched, its icon is placed next to the Quick Launch area. All windows of each program are displayed under the same icon as that program. You can change that last behavior to the classic version at the Taskbar properties. All the way to the right, there's a button to show the desktop. If you just point to that button with your mouse (without clicking), you can see the desktop through all windows (only the shape of each window is then visible).

But I personally think that the taskbar is a ripoff of the KDE window manager with some elements of the Mac OS X Dock.

Presume you are running this in vmware? (due to the 30 day license limit)
I only ran the installation in VMware to be able to make screenshots (vmware fusion). For all the other screenshots I've installed it on my MBP, because VMware couldn't run Aero, because its 3D driver is not WDDM compatible. I'm not looking for a serial number to activate it, because I'm certain that there will be a newer build within these 30 days.
