Five years of development and the Windows team can't get a simple thing right.
The first few days I used Vista, there was one thing I expected to work, considering that Vista is a major improvement for Windows. That thing is moving the taskbar buttons around to arrange them in the order that I like. Linux desktop managers can do that since a long time and I was expecting that Vista was able to do it since it's just a simple thing. Guess what, it didn't work.
Arranging the taksbar buttons is so important for me that if one of the application crashes, I'd rather restart the others just to arrange it again. That's during the Windows time anyways. Because I've been using Linux on work for quite some time, it's not an issue anymore. Of course there are some free third party applications to do it, but why do we have to deal with it when it should be part of the OS?
It's always good to know that things are where you expect them to be.

Works with Windows XP and Vista. It's one of the first things I install on a new windows box.
