I think that taskbar are pretty difficult to some of the users and I don´t like it myself. While it is prettier sametime I think it´s quite annoying. An while win7 is good OS i do not think it is that much better than vista. Hoping win8 would bring something better I don´t know why people are so angry.

I forgot to say: Win7 should have included the much promised WinFS The M$ security essentials should have had it's own firewall also to replace the windows one Explorer should default to thumbnail/large icon view (not detailed view) UAC should have been set to ask credentials for admin and fail silently for non-admin (Linux does it this way) UAC should use aero-glass if it is running The "system" notification icons (battery, WIFI, etc) should have been colored and not b/w the WIFI applet have issues to autodetect WEP settings (my AP is set to wep because my nephews often want to use my AP to get their nintendo DS's (which lack WPA/WPA2 support) online and play mario-kart online). Win7 should have supported read/write to ext2/ext3/ext4 (opensource and fairly popular fs's) Now besides those annoyances/issues, the OS is, to be fair, better than the legacy (XP and earlier) M$ OS's, It can't compete with M$ Linux 11.2milestone3 though.

I have a widescreen 22″ monitor, so I have my taskbar on the left side vertically with about 10 icons in it, and NO desktop icons. The bar does everything I want and more, while looking better than your mom naked.

In any older versions of Windows, you couldn't even open a program from the taskbar, so what are you complaining about? You now have the ability to pin your favorites to the taskbar, and if one of them isn't open, you can do it quickly from the taskbar. Once one is open, now left clicking it is minimize, just like before. This isn't a big problem, and people can quickly figure out that once a program is open, left clicking is now minimize. Sure many novice users will have to open programs the old way, and not know about the cool jumplists, but that's what happens when you're uninformed. I'm sure there will be an introduction to Windows for people to read if they so choose when they first run the OS, but if they choose not to and don't know about jumplists, then it's their loss for being stupid. So stop bitching about the taskbar because Microsoft did a great job with it. All you do is keep bitching about the taskbar, but it’s completely fine.

While the Windows 7 taskbar is a mix between a quicklaunch toolbar and a taskbar, it's still more of a taskbar. I think it would be more disturbing for people used to the old taskbarbehaviour to find that a new instance is opened everytime you click on the icon, instead of minimizing the program. If you want an easy way of launching a new instance of your favorite program, make a shortcut on the desktop or startmenu instead. I’d also have to disagree with this article.
