And the "New bookmark" button being tacked onto the URL bar looks kind of ugly. Being a web developer I use the reload button a lot. Speaking of the URL bar, I like a standalone "reload" button, not a shrunken one tucked into the corner. With a few cascaded windows open, and multiple tabs in each, it really looks messy. The more I use it, the more I dislike it. And when I want to grab the title bar to move a window, I now have to be careful where I grab it lest something undesirable happen. I've been on the And for me, it makes perfect sense to see the tab directly connected to the page's content. Why don't I like it? 1) I have no problem with the concept of the URL box. The rationale you hear is "but that makes the URL box part of the page, which makes sense." But then it also makes the bookmarks bar a part of the page, which it isn't. Number one: tabs across the top? Don't like'em. (Mostly negative, good things are in bold.) But if you go to the Start menu and choose Notepad it'll open a new window. If you're in Notepad and you want to make a new document it asks "do you want to save changes?" and it will re-use the same window. So you've got to go to Notepad and make a new window. Also, if you want to, say, launch a second instance of Notepad, you can't-the 'launch' icon is now the program itself. (I have 'group windows' turned off.) This is, of course, Microsoft trying to copy OS X's Dock and failing hugely. Or if you've got one, and open a few windows, it does the same thing. So if you've got a few, and you launch them all but the rightmost one, the rightmost one is now a few inches over.
And they turn into the program, so if you click one, it gets wide-and consequently pushes the next one down. And the icons are spaced out-they have enough room between them to store a whole other icon. You can't just drag a program or shortcut to the taskbar, you've got to launch it, then pin it. Instead, you now "pin" items to the taskbar. One little thing: the lack of a Quick Launch bar sucks. Once it's up and running, it's fine, but evidently it takes some time to read and boot from a 5 GB compressed disk image. On my 2.33 GHz MacBook Pro (which, to be fair, has been on for 44 days and has many apps and a ton of Safari windows open) it can easily take over 5 minutes.
