Just a slight correction, Vista was the last time you could split toolbars off of the taskbar like that, its taskbar was basically the same as XP still. The redesign in 7 was when we lost that ability.

Will say the docked toolbars did look significantly worse in vista as they all got an wide aero border

Huh, thinking about it I'm not sure if I ever really ran Vista on my main desktop at home, so that would make sense. I think I went from my roided out XP x64 image to win 7 despite using Vista quite a bit when working on customer's PCs. Thanks for the correction, cheers.
