Done that way in the sidebar it looks just like the Start Menu... or you can open it as a folder, also like the Programs folder (though that doesn't have nearly as much in it as a Programs folder in Windows... do programs not auto-install stuff into it like they do in Windows? :))
Oh, so OSX has both a top bar (though since its a Mac the topbar changes into the program's menubar) and a side icons bar? Why? Needs more buttons? (and the idea of a bar anywhere but on the bottom of the screen is strange... I've seen people with their Windows taskbar on top of the screen and its odd...) Oh, one other thing I do is have autohide on. I think having to look at the taskbar all the time would be really annoying... and takes up valuable space on the screen...
Okay, so Mac has a somewhat improved way of dealing with that. That's good. It still doesn't look quite as good as even the Start Menu though.
... and I've never really liked Mac's style of those 'menubars with horizontal lines through them' thing. ... of course I think that XP's more 'fluid' style looks funny too. :D
