I have to say im surprised how many people still have their taskbars on the bottom in win7, it just makes so much more sense on the side, way better use of space.

Only if you have a widescreen monitor, otherwise bottom or top are best use of space.
Mine. The screen changes every 5 minutes or so. It looks like a chaotic mess to everyone else, but I have a method for my madness. Sort of. (The icons on the top left need to be organized, and most of them deleted. As as well most of the folders around that you see.)
About halfway down on the left, are games I used to frequently play, and some I still do. The more largely useless folders below those games.
Bottom left is Microsoft Office icons, and below them, is my Adobe CS5 software I use on a daily or near-daily basis, mostly throughout the summer while I am not teaching.
Top middle, internet browsers.
To the right of CS5 on the bottom are, three spreadsheets I use for games I play most frequently: Sim country, and a baseball game called OOTP. To the right of that, those folders are obviously work-related.
Top right is my computer "utilities" section. Things like...well...wallpapers (from which my desktop cycles through,) and the default comcast crap that I never use. (You don't see Utorrent! Nope. You do not! )
Bottom right are more utilities I use on a more regular or semi-regular basis.
This is the usual arrangement since I started on PCs - my document icon at the top, then internet related icons, then general programs, work programs and finally games at the bottom which are usually arranged somehow. At the moment I have my two favourite games at the top and older games at the bottom. I usually have far more games than this but had to remove a lot to save some space on my hard disk. So my desktop is always well ordered which reflects me - always liking things in their place, I hate chaos.
ahh a Fellow modeler. I thought i was alone here ;D

Thats it No wall paper or icons, cause they are always covered by windows. Things are either pinned to the start menu or I just hit win and start typing.
