Well, all your googling proves is that Microsoft along with Apple and KDE all 
groups tasks by default, which is pretty much the opposite what you're arguing 
for.
Fortunately for us we have usability experts and instead of complaining about 
things you don't like you can go and ask them. 
Celeste what's your opinion on task grouping?

This is how my panel looks without grouping:

and this is only showing tasks from the current desktop. I have to click on 
each and every item in the taskbar to find anything. While I'm certainly a very 
special kind of user, your argument for pointlessness of grouping tasks is 
obviously bogus.
