Seriously? Has anyone even really used it? It doesnt function at all like the dock, it functions like the taskbar with app grouping on, which has been a feature since win98 (i think). They also combined the taskbar and quicklaunch into one unit. I have Leopard and win7 installed and there are no more similarities between the dock and taskbar in 7 as there were in Vista other than aesthetics.
The dock doesnt have previews when you hover over the app, but vista and 7 do.
When you minimize an app in 7 or Vista it minimized into its already open icon, on the Dock it makes a new place next to the trash can.
In 7 the taskbar covers the whole edge of the screen, with the try at the right, completely unlike the dock.

So what is it that makes 7's taskbar a copy of the dock? I really just dont get it.
