No, you don't have the quick-launch thing, and the pinned icons are just as big as the running task icons. BUT! if you are running one of the programs that is pinned there, that pinned icon is highlighted, so you know it's running, and it's not duplicated as a running task icon. That's probably not very clearly worded, but I think I may like the new way. I've read that there is a way to get back the old task bar behavior, but I'm trying hard to assimilate the New Microsoft Way. I also like it on the left side of the screen on my Netbook, since screen real estate is so cramped.

From: Martin Holmes on 25 Mar 2010 23:26 For Linux users with Gnome (e.g. Ubuntu): sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal gives you "Open terminal here" on the File menu and the right-click menu on any folder.
