If you’re in the mood for a better Windows taskbar but don’t feel like upgrading to Windows 7, you should ask your doctor if SBar is right for you. While you’re at it, you may want to ask if AeroSnap is right for you as well.

SBar replaces your boring, not-very-functional taskbar with a tasty little Windows 7 treat. After downloading and installing, your new taskbar will give you most features of the Windows 7 taskbar including:

1.Group taskbar buttons more efficiently
2.Thumbail previews for all opened windows
3.Jump lists with pin support
4.Additional tasks in the jump list
5.Pin support to taskbar
PLUS
6.Support to Skype 4.x and Firefox 3.x

Now my friends, you can do stuff that you never thought you could. View thumbnails of open things when you don’t feel like minimizing your current window, group and move buttons around the way you see fit, and pretty much everything else Windows 7 taskbar allows you to do.

We experienced a couple minor bugs, but they were remedied pretty quickly with the newest version. We also had some problems getting Windows Vista 64bit edition to work correctly. You may be out of luck if you’re in this category.

Meanwhile, SBar should only be a tweak to hold you over for a little while. We really do recommend upgrading to Windows 7 as soon as you feel comfortable. It’s definitely worth your time and money. Plus, you don’t need health insurance to do it.
