>When you think about having the taskbar on the right or the left, all of a sudden the reflow and the work that all of the apps have to do to be able to understand the environment is just huge.

I have literally been running Windows 11 with the taskbars on the side for 6 months

It's because they're STILL trying to make Windows a mobile OS. And they can't figure it out.

It's the only explanation. The taskbar has been movable since Windows fucking 95. And I've never seen any apps on Windows have any issues with moving it around.

What about making it autohide--doesn't it have a similar implication? Or changing the font height/taskbar height.

Exactly. Or changing your screen resolution...

except they removed the tablety features too, so that can't be the reason imo

Did you bother to read the post? This does not work in Windows 11.

Furthermore, I suspect grandparent is either similarly confused or using registry hacks.

Indeed,

"It's the only explanation. The taskbar has been movable since Windows fucking 95. And I've never seen any apps on Windows have any issues with moving it around."

Until they decided to take it away in Windows 11.
