dude, i mean this little bottom bar on the macs... same as a quicklaunch.. you dont even need a start menu ( on windows i use quicklaucnh ALL the time)
i mean when you command tab you can click on the app you want to switch to.
as for liking them because they are much more refined... seems like a pretty ing good reason... not like "omg the only reason" but THE reason. |

yeah, but if you're used to clicking on the start menu for everything, and have a lot of stuff that you frequently use, it makes sense. Otherwise, you have to hit the little arrow thing to scroll over in quick launch anyways, and if you're used to it, the start menu click is free. Plus, bigger icons. And words. |

ROFL i like quick launch cause it uses SMALL icons, which means i can fit MANY apps in there that i use in a SMALL space. i dont want half my screen real estate taken up by the damn start menu. quick launch is made for QUICKLY launching stuff so you DONT go to the start menu. its direct access to the many shortcuts i use.

Ruby Huang, Taipei; Steve Shen, DigiTimes.com [Thursday 15 February 2007]
Apple is planning to introduce 15.4-inch MacBooks in the second quarter of 2007, according to industry sources in Taiwan. The new model will fill the gap between the company's 13.3-inch MacBooks and the 15.4- and 17-inch MacBook Pros that form its current notebook line up, and is expected to boost shipments of Apple's Intel-powered MacBooks, the sources add.
MacBook shipments are expected to reach 700,000 units in the first quarter of 2007, after enjoying substantial gains in the second half of 2006, say the PC makers. However, shipment growth for the whole of 2007 is likely to be even greater than that of the first-quarter following the introduction of the 15.4-inch model in the second quarter, the sources noted.
Currently, 13.3-inch MacBooks are manufactured by Asustek Computer, while the new 15.4-inch model will be made by Quanta Computer, which also manufactures the 15.4- and 17-inch MacBook Pros for Apple. Foxconn is said to have been in the running for the lucrative 15.4-inch manufacturing contract but was eventually unsuccessful, the sources report.
Prices for the 15.4-inch MacBook models are likely to be more competitive than their 13.3-inch counterparts, due largely to the relatively lower cost of 15.4-inch LCD panels, and will therefore help push further sales of MacBooks, indicated the sources. The 13.3-inch MacBooks are currently available at US$1,099-US$1,499..
The 15.4- and 17-inch MacBook Pros are currently available at a range between US$1,999 and US$2,799, and account for a relatively lower ratio to Apple's total notebook shipments, the source indicated. |

The main reason is that it's too easy to accidentally open something.
Also, it takes up taskbar space that I would rather use to switch apps without having to have them grouped. |
