Hits the nail on the head. I was surprised they even removed the ability to customize the taskbar location - but it still employs the same registry entries, so you can relocate it by messing with obscure manual modifications.

Yet half the menus will just ignore it. The start menu will pop up at the correct location, but then glitch to bottom left as soon as you start typing/searching

What's beyond is that even if we were to accept all the dumbing down and reduction of the UI as a sacrifice to make the OS more touch/hybrid friendly - it'd be really bad design, since keeping the taskbar on top makes it quite ergonomic to access on touch ultrabooks.

I'm picking this specific example, since it really questions the "trust us it's how it's best" excuse, and makes it much rather feel like 11 was simply rushed into production
