I love how microsoft never learns their lessons.

    I couldn’t get past the Taskbar long enough to not hate it unfortunately. I also missed quicklinks, which I use a lot.

      What’re quick links?

        Sorry, it’s Quicklaunch.

        I have my most used applications there so I never have to hit the start button.

          Doesn’t pinned apps on the taskbar work for that same use case? I’ve just used that instead since Windows 7

            Similarly but not quite. I also have stuff pinned, but the quick launch also allows you to have a menu that you can open with a list of apps too. The icons are also much closer together, so in the space of 5 pinned icons, I can have 11 quick launch icons.

              Fair enough
