* What's the usefulness of the Apple menu bar that morphs with each application and leaves apps running and consuming memory and file locking in place when you are done with the program but unknowingly only close the app window. You have to be an experienced user to avoid the complications unnecessarily andclumsily caused by the archaic menu bar design.
First time I used Vista, I couldn't find menus in most of the programs. Then I hit the ALT key and the menus appeared--JUST LIKE IN *DOS*. Now THAT'S really archaic. Apple menus change because the apps have different purposes. Different menus are good. Fitting "square pegs into round holes" as a menu metaphor is pointless.
It's more efficient for workflow to leave programs open in the background to go back and forth even where windows aren't always open. I usually have five or six programs running and use them all. No need to close and reopen programs that are being used most of the time anyway, unless you don't care about wasting time--that's just bad design. My Mac has enough memory and a fast processor to handle the traffic.
