Lemme try to run it down as I’m understanding it…
You were saying that the Mac icon menu makes a Mac easier to use because the Windows Explorer File Menu isn’t docked to the top of the screen (and maybe because it doesn’t have the same functionality?).
I was saying that the Windows Start Menu has nearly-identical function to the Mac icon menu, it’s just docked on the bottom (I can move it to the top if I wanted though…) and that the File Menu in Windows Explorer isn’t something I have much of a use for in general.
I’m just so tired I’m missing the point of contention I guess? Apples and Apples, isn’t it (haha pun)?
You’re misunderstanding. Perhaps I need to be more clear:
So, in Windows, application menubar are docked into the application. In OS X, the menu bar is docked to the top of the display. The docked-to-top style is better since you can just move your mouse quickly up to the top, rather than moving the mouse to a moving target.
I was using this as a microcosm of a larger difference between OS X and Windows.
(P.S.: It’s the “Apple menu”)
