With the default Windows 7 group and icon behavior, they're virtually identical in behavior...
- pkamb 15y agoPower users go with the "Combine when taskbar is full" option. Reduces clicks and hover times tenfold.
- jodrellblank 15y agoOne puts a task bar on the same screen as the applications which makes it easy to switch applications per window, the other hides pictures of the application in a task bar on another screen which makes it harder to switch applications at all and completely ignores screen distinctions. They aren't virtually identical; they aren't even the same thing done differently, they're completely different.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoWhat are you talking about? I'm dual monitoring with both windows and OS X right now. Both have their taskbar on my right hand monitor. Both have icons for launched applications with indicators representing each instance of the application. They both include icons for quick, often used apps that are present even when the application is not open. They're identical... Is there any chance that you're using "task bar" to mean the application's menu? There are lots of engrossing UI discussion surrounding the application menu and the global menu, but that's not what we're discussing here... Hell, if you ignored the fact that the Windows taskbar extends across the bottom of the screen and is grey rather than floating in the middle, and ignored the start button vs the finder button... my taskbar and dock look identical, Chrome, Firefox, VLC, Office Apps.
