does anyone have any thoughts about using them together? Or is it better to regard them as completely independent?
I am willing to bet object dock could be used two ways for two different types of users.
1. It replaces the traditional taskbar. In this case start 11 and object dock would benefit from closer ties with things such as the start menu. However things like notification area are not yet incorporated.
or
2. The way I prefer to use it. More as an separate extension that works independently of the taskbar. Like an adjustable app launcher or tabbed organizational tool for things like web links.
In my opinion option 2 currently works better for objectdock use but future updates could change that.
