I was up one night and it dawned on me, the Windows Longhorn sidebar made a comeback in Windows 8. If anyone remembers the Longhorn Sidebar, it basically was the Taskbar's sidekick, it would had been amazing if it made to vista, oh well though. But to keep things to the point, look at the Longhorn and 8 pictures and the sidebar. It's interesting I think. The major difference though is that the Longhorn is the Taskbar sidekick whereas the 8 sidebar is more a utilitarian feature, maybe one could see as though it really is the Taskbar's sidekick.
To me lately, I'm really starting to discover how true the saying is that Windows 8 is really the Longhorn dream reiterated for our time in this decade. Bill Gates once said that Longhorn was just too far ahead of its time, well, its time is now...
