Yes, you can now see more than just 9 apps in the multitasking overview.

And those app covers do not re-sort when you open an app. They stay in the order in which they where started until you manually reposition them.

It was a little bit annoying to have to long press for the "close all" window to get an overview of the open applications.

Yes, all covers are now visible and you scroll them vertically. Just for the sake of testing I opened 24 apps, and all are visible.

They have done something to the oom killer also, because all of the 24 apps stay open and none was killed. There was also some memory hogs like the browser and a couple of Android apps. UI is still quite smooth, some small lags here and there. Apps become more laggy, so I can't recommend having this much stuff open

Edit: Browser still doesn't seem to keep more than 3 tabs in memory though, even after I closed all the other apps.

Hands on :
I hate the side swipe on the lockscreen(bottom up was way better);
I love the side-switch to task manager(n9 ui ftw)
I am ok with having the apps accessible always from the bottom;
Finally a statusbar

Bottomline: it feels like an iphone, ui wise...
Yes, the old ui was maybe too sequential; but they could have kept the unlocking with a Swipe-up, no? And then maybe replace the useless ambience side-swipe switcher with task screen.

Interesting! Could you run these few memory usage related commands and post the output ? Thanks in advance!

Code:

free -m
cat /proc/swaps
ps aux --sort -rss

It's probably just the covers that stay visible though, if you try to open the oldest started app it will likely already have been killed at some point so it will need to start again. Which is fine for me, as I don't need to keep rearranging the covers every time some app is killed.
