A Deeper Look Into the Windows 11 Taskbar.
Taskview is useful if you are adept at
managing multiple windows or monitors. Taskview will allow you to
create multiple desktops each with its own characteristics. So why
do I turn off Taskview off? I turn it off because when I
accidently mouse over Taskview my screen changes to something like
below. I have enough troubles with
ADHD. To me, this looks like a visualization
of the symtoms of ADHD. But to each his or her own, eh?
Widgets first appeared with Windows Vista. Back in the day,
Widgets were placed on the desktop. And not only were they
annoying, they used up a lot of system resources. Now the Widgets
are on the Taskbar. Common Widgets are the weather, the news,
sports, and "Traffic every ten minutes."
The point of all these little applets is to
make Windows be as much a consumer product as your smart phone. As
Windows and the Android OS merge we may see more of these distractions.
But heck, one person's mere distraction is another's rubber necking car
wreck.
