Ok, I admit it, I like the windows taskbar better than the dock. *hangs head in shame* I like Action GoMac, but they have not updated it for OS X. So is there any application that works like the Windows 98/XP Taskbar the way Action GoMac did?

There used to be something like the taskbar long ago...never took off I think...and I forgot what it was called

it was pretty cool, and it was called GoMac.

There is an app called Switcheroo which kind of sort-of emulates the windows task bar.

Carbon did a taskbar with DragThing a while ago. I don't know how he did it though.

Switcheroo is shareware.

And if it was as full featured as GoMac I'd pay. But it isn't. But I did give it a try, honest.

And the Taskbar Carbon did, I emulated as well. It was done with DragThing, but in the long run after using it for a long time it just wasn't doing it for me.

I just wish GoMac would update for OS X. They could make it look like the Windows XP taskbar so it's more OSX-ish and not so Platinumy. Or support themes.
