Windows doesn't group it. At least my Windows 98 (or I was too stupid to find 
it?)
From other side, I have heard that Windows 2000 can group several instances 
of one app in one taskbar button (like KDE).
And I don't think that the fact "Win2000 can group apps on taskbar" is a good 
reason for upgrade to Win2000. Haven't MS Tech Support offered this to you?..
Such a weak Sales People! :-) 

As about sending mails to MSWish@Microsoft.com - I think it's useless (as 
well as sending mails to ZDNet or CNet; I have never received response from 
them)
