I'd also like to see TLB take over the taskbar but I have a different perspective on how this should work.
I run my monitor at 1600x1200 but I need to set the icons in TLB to 32x32 so I can see them better. As such my task bars quickly losing ground to shortcuts, plug-ins and menus. I can only view four running apps at once before the taskbar buttons begin to shrink.
As such, I'd like to see the taskbar display icons only and have arrows which allow the user to scroll through the overflow if there isn't enough room to view all the running apps at once. This would sort fo work like the Mac dock but I think if done correctly it could be better than the dock and the taskbar. WindowsXP task grouping would still work but instead of the number beside the icon, TLB could use 16x16 skinnable overlay badges.
