I as well have a Mac at work as a primary computer, however I tend to bring
in my x200 Ubuntu laptop almost daily, to actually get work done.
Ironically, despite the smaller screen size I find it easier to multitask
using the standard gnome interface, thanks in part to the works spaces and
taskbar.
Microsoft's market control aside, the task bar has been around for over a
decade and its primary concept hasn't changed. To give the user over-site at
all times - give the user as much control as necessary and let him/her
organize the information. Its hard to argue with a concept that has worked
so well for such a long time. The fact that people arn't flocking to osx is
also proof. Although I'll admit their hardware design is very sheik.

It seems to me by apple using a global menubar in osx they are trying to
teach the user to not even bother customizing their experience. And instead
rather deal with what we gave you, we made it perfect already.
