When you think about having the taskbar on the right or the left, all of a sudden the reflow and the work that all of the apps have to do to be able to have a wonderful experience in those environments is just huge

It was working fine in windows 95. Suddenly all programmers became incompetent and can't handle something like that?

    This makes no sense to me what so ever. Why do any apps care about where the taskbar is? How's it any different when a window isn't maximised and the user resizes it? Either I'm seriously misunderstanding this or it's a completely made up excuse.

    I'd rather they just say "we completely rewrote the taskbar, but we know that less than 0.01% of users move their taskbar so we didn't prioritize it".

    To me the bigger issue with the taskbar is that you can't make it compact. Instead it has to be a big chunky mess.
