Actually you can stick the windows bar on the left and get pretty much the
same effect as unity. Looking at my colleagues W7 machine (I have a Mac)
running Firefox 4, maximized it has tabs-on-top with no menu. You can do
dock-on-the-left with OSX too.
I think the thinking behind the bar at the b
There are several large, glaring, problems with the global menu as I see it:
Menu's are outdated. It's clear from the last few years that menus as we
know it are playing a more diminished role. Large amounts of applications

controls and many other actions, as a general rule, only affect things

FOSS website.
Dealing with criticism is simply part of the job and if (the hopefully few)
developers upsteam are taking offence then that is something

It seems to me, UI wise anyway, that there is a movement away from having a
traditional program menu. The most recent browsers (FF, Chrome, IE) have
buried it and in applications such as media players and basic photo managers
