[B]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? :))
Most programs only install the program itself and that's it. Programs that install more usually install it in places where you don't have to worry about it.

(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...
The top bar does different things than the Dock. As you know, it changes depending on the program, but a lot of the stuff in it remains the same throughout many programs so it is easy to find commonly used things such as Copy and Save. And the Dock is by default at the bottom of the screen, but I like it better on the left. It does autohide so you don't have to worry about it taking up screen real estate.
