The explorer windows are just as bad. The new Firewall control panel is retarded. Many, many things are just as bad as Vista, and in some cases, worse.

I am one of those "gazillions of windows" types from way back, and alerts in XP with over 20 windows up seemed to be more findable than they are in the same state in Win 7.

In fact it's a wonder windows live hasn't been redesigned for windows 7. In saying that, we are a few weeks away from the official launch, so maybe something will be done about it by then. @telemetry I think if windows live adopted tabbed conversations like a lot of the alternative IM clients, then stacking may be more acceptable.

I wish this Windows 7 setting could be set per-application. The single icon idea was really nice at first, but stacking's bad when you have multiple IM windows open. Having to turn it off completely made me sad :( Well we still write horizontally, so horizontal space is at more of a premium, and if you don’t auto-hide then a vertical taskbar takes up a huge width to display names.

Now, each icon is stacked vertically leaving room for about 25-30 icons and it takes up no space on the screen unless you need it. In these days of widescreen monitors, it seems bizare that everyone still accepts the default position for their taskbar as being along the bottom, taking up valuable space.
