Angry POLL: Anyone else hate the new windows taskbar on the bottom?

I have to say, the 6.5.1 taskbar on the bottom is horrible. I don't think it's user friendly at all, and I think it's a step back for WM.

Please don't tell me that I"m the only one.

I like the idea but I'm definitely not saying "Don't change a thing".

The size of the TP2 makes it hard to reach the top of the screen with one hand.. Bottom may be better for some.

Re: POLL: Anyone else hate the new windows taskbar on the bottom?

I just don't like how it interferes with Windows programs that weren't designed with the new taskbar in mind, such as SPB Mobile Shell 3.5. Most likely many of those programs will issue updates once Windows 6.5.1 becomes official.

up top is a pain in the arse. Bottom is more fluid. Don't be a hater.

Re: POLL: Anyone else hate the new windows taskbar on the bottom?

the 6.5.1 taskbar looks hideous. i hate it with a passion. i refuse to use it. i will stay with 6.5 or even 6.1 rather going with 6.5.1.

Re: POLL: Anyone else hate the new windows taskbar on the bottom?

I just dont understand the need to make it so large. It seems like MS is intent on having the task bars staying large and bulky no matter how they code the OS. How about thin bars and it goes back to normal when an app that doesnt support the new res is run? Dont let me get started in the amount of real estate taken up when in landscape mode smh.

But i like the idea of having okay and X at the bottom, maybe not so much the implementation
