On my netbook, it's on the right side of the screen because I can use all the vertical pixels I can get. (1024x600) Being a touchscreen It's also easier to acess from the right and switch programs.
On my desktop, I did have it on the bottom set to autohide. I just recenly threw it on the right side with no autohide, and I think it's tons better now. I dont need to autohide, because I rarely have windows maximized (1920x1080)
With the square textless task items in windows 7 having the taskbar on the right side is actually useful now, not like before with the long rectangles. | | My System Specs | | |

Vista H.P. SP1 x32 Seven RC x64 235 posts |
After installing RC I began to try a new way:
Dual-monitor, primary monitor on the left
Taskbar on the right, no autohide, big icon, no objectdock.
I think I will stay like this.
Just have to change my habits of searching start menu on the upper left corner 
I'd love to be able to put the taskbar on the second monitor - left side (without put the right monitor as primary).
Shame that MS not support multimonitor more than the basics | | My System Specs | | OS Vista H.P. SP1 x32 Seven RC x64
