How do I move the task bar (has apps: mail, tasks, calendar, etc.) back to the bottom of the screen? Is this called the task bar? I can't figure out how to restore the settings. See picture.

    Ugh, yea. I fixed it by toggling OFF the 'coming soon' tab in the top right, then restarting the program. Hopefully this new feature does not become a permanent setting.

    This idea sucks, if you want to make changes to the UI then ask people if they like what you're proposing, or at the very least give them the option to change where they feel their task bars are most comfortably placed rather than being forced to accept what you dictate; it's a sure fire way of driving customers away.

    I think it's ridiculous that you took our option to have the tasks on the bottom away completely rather than simply FORCING us to have it on the left!! It looks awful and it's inconvenient. If you want to give people options that's fine, but MAKING us do it "your way" is idiotic. This was a bad move on Microsoft's part. Thanks for inconveniencing a LOT of people...it's unappreciated!
