It's such a shame because Windows is a good operating system for a lot of desktop use cases that happens to be smeared with shit all over the user interface. Honestly I'm expecting them to introduce mini advertisements in the task bar any time soon. It's not like those pixels are being used for anything when there aren't many windows open right?


The Weather/News Flash taskbar pretty much does this already. Nothing like an angry red triangle warning to keep me up on the latest celebrity news.


So why don't you switch it?

I've put it to show Weather only and I actually like it a lot.


Not who you asked, but my employer won't allow me to change it.


Surely that's just an oversight from whoever set up the group policy, and notifying them should fix it for everyone in your company.
