Funny, Microsoft seems to think the dock is the way forward. :eek:

Explain this more. What did MS really take from the dock? Icon grouping has been around since '98 i believe and now its just on by default. They took the labels from the icons, made them large, and combined the taskbar/quicklaunch into one. They took the 3 good qualities of the dock and kept the 15 good qualities of the taskbar like window previews on mouseover and windows that tile.
