These threads are exhausting. You can easily turn this off. I didn't even have to look up how, I right clicked the task bar weeks ago and just disabled it. I didn't notice it move because it had been off this whole time.

But sure... The ONLY solution is to ditch Windows.

Sure, but how many "easily changed things" do you need for the camel's back to break?

I feel like I constantly hear of tiny little things that get worse in windows. Sure, maybe each individually is not a big deal, but it all is just forever added on, constantly creating a slightly worse user experience.

In the end, windows is not follow a very user-friendly/user-centric design.

Are you insinuating Linux (or osx for that matter) is well known for shipping well loved defaults?
