In a way, I like the pinning feature, it eliminates the quicklaunch bar, but the way it groups application windows bugs me. When I have a chat program with multiple windows, I have to go to the icon, wait for the previews to load then select the window I want. They add two extra steps to something where I used to just go down and click what I wanted in the taskbar, which makes it seem inefficent to me.

I'm glad they let you ungroup them in the properties myself

right click the taskbar and choose properties.


  1. Check "Use Small Icons"
  2. Taskbar Buttons: "Never Combine"
  3. Unfortunately there is no quick launch for windows 7.

OMG of course I love it! Plus the fact that you only see the icons, so you can add 5 times more apps there while still seeing what's there... and the grouping makes it even more efficient! And I only upgraded from XP yesterday ;)
