“From our research, dragging the taskbar to reposition it can lead to accidental movements, which is one of the reasons “Lock the taskbar” existed in previous versions of Windows,” Baca said. “We also found that changing the taskbar position isn’t something people do frequently.”

These idiots completely missed the point. Why would you move it frequently? People want to be able to put it where they want it…and then lock in position, so it doesn’t move anymore.

Does anyone else remember how awesome Windows XP was, just for the fact that it was so customizable? There was an option for almost anything you wanted to do. It was the last, best version of Windows, for that reason alone.
