"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

hotcorners are terrible

taskbar lets you switch between windows easier (assuming you're a child and have less than 10 windows open)

dock badges are great at notifying application state

taskbar at top, placement reflects hierarchy: taskbar > title bar > tab bar

screen feels less boxed in, controls at top, rest is waterfall of pure content

more shamefully i also have the buttons set to never combine but with labels hidden by registry edit because it looks neater than one useless letter and an ellipsis when you got two dozen windows open

a taller taskbar makes things nice and legible again so i can easily pull up emails I opened on tuesday and forgot about

I can understand how the dock is meant to appeal since i guess the majority of users only install/regularly use a handful of programs, but even though i largely fall into this category with my home pc it feels like it cheapens the experience of owning a general purpose computer rather than some kind of home appliance
