I would scrap the taskbar in windows and linux and use a toolbar simialr to
the early macintosh or who remembers the Lotus Quicklaunch bar that used to
sit ontop of teh taskbar?
Heres a few made-up menu options to show you what I mean:
System
Shutdown
Log Out
Office
MS Office
Word
Excel
Powerpoint
Access
Openoffice.org
Writer
Math
Calc
etc...
Mail
Outlook
Thunderbird
Evolution Mail
Chat
MSN
Trillian
Pandion
Pidgin
Games
Frozen Bubble
Cedega
