(combined)
NOT -
the dock quickly fills with many objects; running applications, folders,
minimized windows and applications, as well as other stuff the user
places there. This provides an interface which is cluttered, and
confusing (is that object in there because it is running?, or is it there
because i placed it there yesterday? or is it minimized?)
The seperated interface elements - apple menu and alication menu provide
an easily organizable, uncluttered interface to recognize what objects
are presonal preferences (apple menu), and which are currently executing
applications.
