Microsoft is blocking Windows Customization Tools
(www.neowin.net)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
The irony is that people create these tools mostly because they're frustrated by the limited customisation options provided by default. If Microsoft ever listens to feedback, it's quite limited, and it takes ages for the new stuff get implemented; moreover very often you just about get used to something and the rug gets pulled from under your feet.
The lack of a small taskbar mode was all it took for me to never upgrade. Just shows MS doesn't care about its users.
