This one at least has been solved in Windows 7 by merging the QuickLaunch area with running applications. A dock would also solve this problem nicely. You'll notice OS X doesn't have a lot of "applets" on the menu bar. The only one I've seen a lot of people have is smcFanControl.
You'd be surprised. I currently have 15, 11 of which are standard OS X "applets" (but not all of which are turned on by default, admittedly).
On the plus side, the good thing about OS X menu extras (as they're properly called) is that they're all generally of a uniform size and appearance (they fit into a square, and they're monochrome)-- the 15 I have still take up less than half the width of my menu bar.
