My biggest gripe is the crappy taskbar. I HATE it with a passion. It is the worst design crap ever!

First the taskbar should allow shortcuts and it does. But its not the same as with XP to Vista style. You can Pin to bottom. Now if you click it, it will launch and make that icon larger. You cannot click it again to launch another copy. For example with FireFox....

I would normally have 3 - 5 copies for FF running with 6 - 10 windows in each. This is how I like it and no I will not change it. So if I add it to the taskbar, and click to launch it. If I click it again it does not open another copy but bring it forward. LAME!

Also how it appears, it should move to the right and show in the taskbar NOT stay where I had it pinned. So it will mix launched and unlaunched pinned items. Totally lame.

Tasks that the main window can close and still be active, for example like MSN Messenger. Does not minimize to the tasktray, but stays active only in the taskbar. This is also lame for programs that are always opened!

I wont even go into how annoying and crappy the hidden tasktray notifications are.

Anyone know of tweaks, tricks to make Windows 7 crappy taskbar/tray more like Vista? Which was 100% better?

What other quarks did you find?
