You think text is easier to quickly identify then an icon?
I think it's easier than an icon which is a tiny little picture of the screen. I can't tell the difference between a tiny little Word document and an eensy little email message, but I can usually tell an XP window even from the first two or three letters. And they usually have simple icons too. And they are there even when the window isn't minimised.

and a And the fact that the Taskbar tasks resize (and therefore reposition) is especially frustrating. And what if you have more than 10 tasks or so open? You can't read anything. You can't find a specific task without trial and erroring.
Hmmm, this only happens to me when I have about 15+ or even more tasks open, which is very very rarely. Depends on your screen resolution and how much stuff you have on the quick launch part of the taskbar.

Taskbar is pants. It can easily lose track of which application is active with certain programs - Paint Shop Pro can be active while another task is selected on the bar. Getting that wrong is a pretty fundamental error,
Yeah, this seems to happen occasionally, although it hasn't happened to me in a while. I agree that it's sloppy, but it's never actually caused me any trouble. Just toggle the buttons and it instantly catches up. Again, aesthetically annoying but harmless in practice.

I really want to like the OSX environment, but when I'm trying to actually do stuff I keep going back to XP.
