I have about half of my taskbar filled up with icons pinned. I have ten. Can anyone beat ten?

LOL I have 12 (incl. the default Explorer icon next to the Orb) Plus I pinned the Trash bin to the Taskbar (next to the notification area)
Basically all the programs I use the most
So the only unpinned icon you see is the chrome I'm just writing in :D

1. Windows Live Messenger. Don't know why as I never use it now. Though it just made sense as when it's open it pins itself to that area. Other than that I prefer keeping the task bar clean. I still have taskbar items showing the name as I prefer it to just having icons.
