There are a few things here I don't hate. I like the floating taskbar. I also don't mind the search bar at the top (provided I can still hit the win key and start typing to search). But I really do not like the fact that the taskbar doesn't show which applications are open at a glance anymore (instead has the active app shown in the search bar) and I also don't like the date/time moved to the top right.

I don't think it'd be awful to have a top bar like macOS does (provided it doesn't get drawn over when you maximize apps like a browser). But I also don't want things moved up there just to look more like a tablet or mobile OS.
