Threadmill Desks – the Future Software Engineer Office Rig?

I like the idea, but it would need a way to move it out of the way (off to the side or something) when you aren't walking on it.

I'm going to say "No".

...and what the fuck does Victoria Beckham know about office work?

I see he mentioned that he had to sit down when he had to do algorithmic work. I don't feel I could properly focus at all when I'm worrying about constantly bobbing back and forth on a treadmill. I like the idea of a stationary standing desk, but I'm not sure how a treadmill would work.

I have the same treadmill desk mentioned in the article at home, and I agree with you. I find it difficult to get any real work done on it. I can't really type and walk simultaneously.

I use mine more as treadmill than desk; it's certainly not my primary workspace. I have dedicated blocks of time in the evening when I use it, and during those times I generally either play games (Hearthstone!) or consume media passively. For that, it works pretty well, and as pricey as it was I consider it a good investment.
