Windows works fine if you put the taskbar on the left rather than the 
bottom.  There's far more space, and you can read the text.  Windows 
will also group applications if the taskbar fills and, hovering expands 
them menu-like.

OTOH, the Linux taskbar on the side is broken, at least for gnome, since 
the vertical size grows as the horizontal size grows.
