Without text labels, how will you know one Explorer/Remote Desktop/Document (etc.) window from another, at-a-glance?? :hmmm:

I don't like it :( Maybe because I don't like transparent taskbars - transparent taskbars make me distracted from my work :laugh:

Looks nice, good change if you only have 5-6 icons on your taskbar, but I have 15...where will my windows go?

Quite right - I hate having to scroll through the Taskbar when there more tasks than icons can be fitted on the bar. I wonder how that will work too!

If it's a 3D taskbar they could stack the same windows or do who knows what really. As for textless I doubt it won't have text. At the least text will showup when you hover your mouse over things I'd guess.

Don't confuse with KDE, it works like a Dream, its designed around Touch while giving you the best of both worlds with Point and Click.

Do we have a live feed for todays keynote? Or is the link the same as yesterday? They should show the new taskbar today from what it sounds like.

You can watch it live at microsoftpdc.com

i saw the videos from PDC2008 and was impressed how they managed to improve the taskbar?

but i?m tired of it (not the buttons and the icons from system tray, but the bar)?

it occupies space for nothing (i?m not clicking left or right mouse button on the bar)?

i would rather see my desktop and my wallpaper widescreen?

i would prefer using only the buttons or icons from desktop which give me oportunity to move them all over i want on desktop (it would be quite wonderfull to move the start button and the clock from system tray over the entire desktop)?

furthermore, even the concept of the taskbar, isn?t like a black spot on the name of Microsoft?s OS??doesn?t have to be only about windows (and tabs)??

i endured the taskbar because i was a beginner in what ment using an OS and didn?t know what i wanted from it?but now i think i grown up along side the new technologies?

destroy the bar, i want to visualise the windows widescreen

Can't you just hide the taskbar and/or make it as small as possible? With the huge widescreen monitors available today, I really don't think the taskbar taking up all of 14-20px of your resolution is that bad. In other operating systems, the Dock and other taskbar-like solutions start at nearly 70px.

Sounds like you'd rather use leopard. but you can put taskbar to hide when not using it.

[InPCHell]

Only thing that bothers me is that my Objectdock+ is going to look weird because I also want to use the new taskbar.

i never saw leopard live, only in videos... i don't like macs dock either :) ... i just realise from some time that you can do all the stuff only from windows (the taskbar can be integrated smoothly in windows, i mean look at some software out there that have in their windows implemented buttons for shuting down the computer, for control panel etc.)
