I tried that lots of times on XP, the taskbar on the top is much more "natural" and handy for me. Only problem, most app don't give a fuck about where you place the bar and keep spawning windows starting from the top of the screen, so that their titlebar is hidden under the task bar. After countless alt+space > "move" trips, I always end up givin' up and moving the bar back to the bottom. :/
You can avoid that setting the taskbar to autohide, but I don't like that setup.
I'll probably get raped for saying this but I have windows xp patched to look like apple osx using flyke osx. it looks great. sue me. So yeah, it's at the top..
You're talking about taking something from WinMo and applying to PC's. Think the other way around..... The samsung omnia has a freakin OPTICAL MOUSE with A POINTER in WinMo 6.1.
That with WinMo 7.1, Zune client, and the HTC Touch HD
I've always had the taskbar at the top. It's just more natural when it's close to all the other menus. I never understood why MS made it default at the bottom.

Yup, been auto-hiding task bar at the top ever since they introduced the task bar. Seems weird on a new install to have it at the bottom.
i use ubuntu and its at the top and it works a hell of a lot better...i know its not the same os but same concept
Fading out neutral comments sucks. They're usually just as relevant, but not funny. Don't just change the comments; make them better!
