Windows works fine if you put the taskbar on the left rather than the bottom. There's far more space, and you can read the text. Windows will also group applications if the taskbar fills and, hovering expands them menu-like. OTOH, the Linux taskbar on the side is broken, at least for gnome, since the vertical size grows as the horizontal size grows.
