Dock vs Windows taskbar: Taskbar is still a useless crap compared to dock. I had heard they will finally implement a feature that's very close to OS X Expose because flip3D is useless to none. It takes them ages to copy anything from competitors and implement it properly.

Ask them if they will incorporate Compiz, Glx-Dock and split windows in explorer ?

@shellcodes_coder disagree! - (I use both) - I think taskbar is superior in terms of app visualisation. i.e. you can more clearly see what is currently running including multiple instances.
