I, for one, happen to find it a way more useful tool than the Windows task bar, or it's equivalent in KDE or Gnome. I use the auto-hide feature and have grown accustomed to using the dock for a quick reference as to which applications I have open, as well as placing my most commonly used application launcher icons on it for convenience. I even dragged my applications folder to the right side of the separator line by the trash can, allowing me right click it and bring up a popup menu where I can select my apps for startup. The dock is one of the features of OS X that I really like. At least it doesn't have a "Start" button that you have to click to shut your computer off :-) -- Chris
