If they were listening, they would allow Vista-style taskbar (not the workaround). I hate the new taskbar.

You can slim it to look like Vista's taskbar in the Taskbar and Start menu properties.

Right-click on the taskbar, select "Properties", check "Use small icons", change "Taskbar buttons" to "Never combine" or "Combine when taskbar is full" (depending on whether you liked grouping in XP/Vista), and voila: it's almost like the XP/Vista taskbar again.

I do agree that adding the choice to use the old interface would have been nice, same as with Office 2007.
While in both instances I favor the new design, it would have been nice for users switching over to have a crutch.
And I definitely think they should have allowed the option to use the old Quick Launch bar, even if it wasn't on by default. You can still manually arrange it, though, by looking for the Quick Launch folder on the system and manually creating a new taskbar for it, with the option to show the folder title off.
