At the risk of throwing more acetone on the fire,
I'd like to say that I'm pretty impressed with the
way the Next menus work. No, not the separate ver-
tical menu bar that always appears in the same place,
and I do HATE the close button on the top right 
(I suppose they did that to avoid a MacLawsuit).
I refer to the ability to bring up the menu bar 
whereever the mouse cursor is by simply hitting 
right mouse button! 

I suppose someone will eventually write some kind 
of utility that will let us do this in Windows..
