There are enough fat-bottomed things in the world (myself included)....I prefer the 30-pixel taskbar.

I like the normal sized, smaller taskbar. The fat bar is ugly, IMO!

I love the new super bar, "fat" as was told here. It's not a taller version of the previous windows taskbars, the usability/user experience with Windows7 Taskbar + task preview + jump list is the best desktop experience I had in many, many years.
I believe everyone should try Windows 7 (and WB7) with the new taskbar for at least a month before telling what is better in general.
This is only MY own opinion based in my experience with Windows 7 and should not be considered "the truth" by anyone 
Regards,
Dani

Far as I know these are available with the smaller taskbar too, the only question is taskbar size preference.
14-4 so far.

I prefer the small one. Just have the fat one enabled because some WB-skins cut the startbutton.

I go back and forth. I like the old look and functionality of Vista, but I also like the new functionality options in 7.
It is fair to note that big start buttons made specifically for the big 7 taskbar don't look right when the taskbar is made smaller.

Question was.. if you could just choose one taskbar size only.
I'm trying to keep it simple and debate free at this point so as not to taint the pool, which is also why I havent weighed in on it yet myself with any reasoning.

Skinny - I don't need to show a movie on my taskbar

Be that as it may, most people would consider standard as being the thinner taskbar... being the fat one is 'new' to Win 7 and not everyone has seen or used it yet.
I have seen/used it, and frankly, I don't like it, particularly in default Windows 7 mode... too flat and it lacks shape/definition. Hopefully WB7 will remedy that.

No one's debating. Just said I like both.
But I s'pose I'd go with the bigger one since that's the one I use regularly.

ok, sounded like a little internal selfdebate 
k, so one more for fat.
18-6 thus far.... carry on.

10-2 so far in this 'unofficial' poll.
oops.. 11-2, I prefer a nice slim bar myself.
I think as Neil said I'll rephrase it Fat or Thin taskbar just to be clear but It appears that the folks that answered standard thus far did so in opposition to Fat in the OP.
So Thin or Fat...?
Step right up, cast your vote.
