    More likely they (at least I do) want the taskbar reserved for running tasks, and each window to have it's own entry clearly separated from the others. Here I deviate, and leave grouping set to be "on if it's crowded".

    Launching tasks is not done (in my case) nearly as often as switching between running tasks, so those few extra clicks at the start save me trouble during runtime.

  16. Re:Well, it's a beginning on Microsoft Relents On Metro-Only Visual Studio Express · · Score: 2

    Yea, if you right click it and go to the options, you can disable the grouping. Once that's done, and the pinned applications unpinned, it behaves very much like the windows XP start bar, except you can search from it.

    Unpin everything form the "superbar" - hey look, it's a classic taskbar.

    And it was not for a few years after that that Vista became somewhat useable.

    AKA the release of Windows 7.

    Skip 8, you know how it is with Microsoft. Whatever comes out after 8 will rock, but 8 itself will be a pile of shit.

    To be fair, broccoli is good if it's fresh and is in the "goldilocks zone" - not too crisp, not too soggy. Brussels sprouts are similar: Obviously don't give them to me raw, but I'd prefer to not eat a soggy bitter mass of plant pulp.

    Can't say I've ever had kale. I enjoy collard greens, does that count?
