Windows 7 Taskbar vs Mac OS X’s Dock

I’m not a Mac user so I can’t give a fair opinion on this one but apparently Gizmodo Australia can ad they say that the task bar from Windows 7 is a lot better than MacOS’s Dock.

The challenge of learning a totally new Windows behaviour is the cost of getting this huge step forward in UI. The superbar makes Windows way more conducive to running tons of applications, since it’s actually possible to find apps and precisely the window you want in a second, no matter how bad the shitstorm on your desktop is. In this sense, it’s a better application manager than the Dock, from which, generally speaking, you can’t do much more than jump to open applications or close them.

    It is never bad news when usability improves for any app or OS. I'll keep using my Macs, but I applaud Microsoft for adopting this new taskbar functionality. I have tried it out and it is definitely much better than what existed before.

    Thats why MAC users have Expose, much easier then finding the app then the windows, I just see everything that is open at once, much easier. As a Windows 7 and MAC OSX user, I can tell you navigating around a mac is soo much easier. And also, why cant I just drag and drop stuff to icons on the super bar?
