Any kind of bar...
I have phobia towards any kind of bar... even that Adobe Acrobat bar in MS Word gives me the freak.
WHY?
I dunno, seems like all bars do are to advertise a service/take advantage of your desktop/eliminate competition (especially those search engine bars)/ and/or to spy on your online activities.
Yes, Google, I'm sure your bar didn't make u the billionaire that you are now by not cutting out all other search engines.
As for easy access to a web page, I'm sure the favorites menu does nothin. It just sits there looking pretty.
I'm just kidding.
Thumbs up to cluttered desktop. Wait until Windows LongHorn comes out, you can even image the number of helper panes Microsoft will bundle with LongHorn IE.

I'd rather visit the site for everything. A toolbar is over-the-top IMO.

Hahaha... really? It facilitates my life when I have to convert a *.doc so... furthermore you are humans right? so a miserly thing should not be the subject of your fear{s}

Me either I am always typing stuff in the search bar, though I use it mainly for the PageRank display.
My second choice of toolbar would have been the alexa toolbar so I could check the Traffic Rank for various sites.
I think google should introduce a traffic rank like alexa, that would be cool.
no need for a toolbar
i don't use IE, and bars like google are working on IE only. other browsers i'm using are not supported, and still if i wanna use google it's in cache so it will load preety fast. in fact of knowing how google is working (payments etc.) it's not my leader
try vivsimo.com, or the old hotbot.com
first one works great and hit's and ranking's are not payed

For those who voted YES
With a little registry hack you can add a button to the IE toolbar that takes you to the newest posts:
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions and create a key with the name
{10954C80-4F0F-11d3-B17C-00C0DFE39736}
then add the following string values:
ButtonText -> New Posts
ClSid -> {1FBA04EE-3024-11d2-8F1F-0000F87ABD16}
Default Visible -> Yes
Exec -> http://www.computerforum.com/search.php?do=getnew
You can even add an icon to it (I was too lazy for that):
Icon -> ..........
HotIcon -> ..........
Where the ..... stands for an *.ico file that you could create for that button (read http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/ext/overview/toolbar_style.asp to see how can you do that).

Making extensions for Firefox is easy, just takes some getting used to. The 'base' of Firefox is extremely hackable, the interface is defined in simple text through XUL (XML User Interface Language) and CSS, and the functionality through Javascript. You can see how easy it is to add even complex hacks with such tools at your fingertips.

Thanks.
You could make another button with the string http://www.computerforum.com/online.php?order=asc&sort=username&pp=100&page=1&who=members at Exec and it will show you which member is online.
And there's even a lot of free space remained empty yet on IE toolbar...
