My minor but really irritating gripe is the unmovable taskbar (which I'm not sure if this has changed or not), I've been a top taskbar person since xp and it doesn't make sense to me to remove a feature like that. Apparently there are Reg hacks or third party tools to do what I want but I really shouldn't have to resort to that Imo.
The taskbar nailed immovable to the bottom is some impressively dumb bullshit. That limitation is so unnecessary and useless I can only chalk it up to brutal idiocy on the product managers side.
I didn't even realize this. What in the backwards UI design is that?
This was linked as an answer in an Microsoft answers thread with this being the thread in question. Honestly I have no idea why it was removed, and I'm pretty simple with a top taskbar. I know a few people who use side taskbars pretty heavily.
