That's odd.  The article you reference clearly states that it applies to 
Windows 8 yet it doesn't seem to be present on my system.  On my unattend.xml 
for Windows 7 TaskbarLinks is present under 4 
specialize\amd64_Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup_neutral\TaskbarLinks.  For 
Windows 8, 4 specialize\amd64_Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup_neutral\ is present 
but not TaskbarLinks.  What could I be doing wrong?  My unattend.xml editor for 
Windows 7 is "Windows System Image Manager (6.1.7600.16385).  For Windows 8 it 
is Windows System Image Manager (6.2.9200.16384).  I'm using Windows 8 
Enterprise x64.  Thanks for your help.

I haven't tried it yet with Win8 but could you script it?  I had to script 
pinning items to the taskbar with our Win7 deployments, but like I said I 
haven't tried it with Win8.

On Windows 7 you could deploy a system and put three shortcuts on the taskbar 
using taskbarlinks in unattend.xml.  I'm not able to find taskbarlinks for 
Windows 8.  Is there another approach for 8?  Will takbarlinks reappear with 
8.1?  I was hoping they would make it possible to add more than 3 links.  
Instead it appears that they have completely taken them away.

Thanks for your help.
