You are correct.  Recent windows versions only show the most recently used 
options and then at the bottom are some arrows you can click on to show 
the rest of the options.  M$ was probably running into a simlar problem of 
too many things on people's start bar.

And I like the redhat much better then having "Start" for the menu.  I 
never have understood the concept of clicking on "Start" when I want to 
shutdown the system. :-)
