And it kind of makes sense to have the taskbar at the right or left on a widescreen monitor as there is so much space there
Actually my understanding is that in Japan and other cultures, right hand side start menu has been the standard preference. It's amazing to me that that cultural preference even has been ignored.
What does making sense have to do with MS-Windows?
Windows 98 felt as if it was very sensible (when it didn't hang). Windows 2000 Server I still remember as the best one. XP was too bright in visual design, but homely.
