Not if you want them hidden.
It's a big improvement for me. Wireless connectivity, battery status and time is critical information when using the phone. Important notifications should also be added there (I'm seriously astonished that Microsoft haven't done this - yet another example of slavishly copying Apple).
However, I agree that an option to always show the notification bar, or to automatically hide, it should be added. Then we're both happy.
