Where is (or where do you like) your task/start bar?

On a Macintosh, it'd be by default on the top; I just don't know nor care what Apple wants to call it. :O
Wrong, and wrong. At the top is the menu bar, and it's not moveable.

The equivalent to the taskbar on Mac OS X would be the Dock, and by default it's at the bottom of the screen.

On my Dell (which is what I use at home), I have it on the bottom. I don't like it anywhere else. I've tried the top, which comes in second, but it just doesn't look right with the window title of the other windows shown. Very ugly.

On my Mac (which is what I use while I'm at school) I prefer the dock to be on the right side. It's nicely placed and out of the way. Simple as that! :]

Quite pedantic aren't we? Or I'm just very generic.
Still, that's something learnt so nice of you to tell me.

I'm a boring person -- I've had it at the bottom for years. I tried it on the side (right, maybe?) for awhile, but it didn't work that well with auto-hide, so I stopped.

I want to try it somewhere else now. Thanks a lot, guys D<

I am so used to it at the bottom, that it seems second nature. Especially with a laptop, as all of the controls (eg: Media Buttons & Keyboard) are at the base of the screen, so it's only natural to have them next to the taskbar. I can't explain it, it just makes sense to me.

As for the Mac Bars, I was under the impression that the top bar was more like a Taskbar and the Dock would imitate the Quick Launch section of the Windows Taskbar. Forgive me, I'm not a Mac user...

I have mine on the left side on both my computers :> I don't know why, but I like it a lot better then having it on the bottom or anywhere else, for that matter.
