OS X which is really nice... beats the pants off of the "traditional" taskbar model seen in XP and most Linux distros That's a matter of personal preference. I personally loathe the way OSX forces me to decide between Apple-Tab vs Apple-Tilde. I just want to switch. But to be fair, it's absolutely annoying and stupid Microsoft Office applications decide they need two entries in the stack. For example, why does having n Excel workbooks open require n+1 entries? No other applications do that as far as I know.
