I hate the taskbar (Score 1)

Man I don't get this. If there is one thing I truely hate about having to use Windows XP at work it is that I DONT have the dock and expose. The taskbar is a cluttered mess. Windows get arranged in a pretty random sequence, and when you got a lot of apps running its nearly impossible to quickly switch to the right window fast. I much prefer the Dock and expose: I click the app I want to use and then I flick the mouse in the upper left corner to use expose to select the correct window to work with, unless that is already in front (if I don't have that many windows). If an IM needs my attention the app jumps up and down. I just click the app icon and all the IM windows are brough to front and I quickly see where the messages are comming. I don't see why think that is a problem. I hate how there is no way to switch to all windows in an application in Windows because the concept of a running app does not exist in the taskbar, only the concept of open windows. Actually I don't know why windows have a window manager at all, because working with anything but fullsized windows in Windows is just a pain in the neck. The GUI doesn't seem to have been designed to deal with multiple open windows on the screen at the same time. And it shows when you see a windows user on Mac. The first thing he/she tries to do is to cover up the whole screen with one window. I don't really know why, coz usually they sit there with a word document taking up a quarter of the with of the screen and the rest is just blank white. So it is not like all that window space is used for anything. Only thing I concede is the directory thing. I really wish folders were at the top. It is perhaps my main annoyance with Mac.
