The start button and the task bar looks damn ugly when resized to 2 rows
instead of 1.

I love the 2005 media center theme of the task bar, so beautiful.

But they can’t put it here is Vista, noooo, otherwise people will think
nothing was changed in vista, so there is a new one, and it is dark, some
people are calling it the business edition, and some like me are calling it
the grim reaper edition:-)

I hope we have more choice by the time Vista is RTM, the grim reaper task
bar is ok, but I love life, the sky and water; and there millions like me,
the blue colors are it.
