For the first time in a month, the icon in my taskbar gets SO full that it overflows to the second row. I actually don’t feel that I have installed A LOT of stuffs to my machine, let’s see from left-to-right: Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari (just to try out, to be removed soon), Windows Explorer, Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Writer, Windows Media Player, Windows Live Messenger, Word, Excel, Skype, Calculator, Notepad, Mozy, TweetDeck, Windows Mobile Device Center, Services.
With the exception of Word and Excel, all of the software I have in my machines are freeware. And they’re pretty common too. I wonder how many icons can a 12” or 15” laptop fit when my 17” monitor can only fit so few (17 to be precise)? To Microsoft credit, they’re changing the space between icons in a more recent build to fit 20 icons in my 1280×1024 screen resolution.
