No one is saying it *can't* work.  People are saying it is inelegant
and poorly thought out...given what other systems are doing.

You are comparing Apples and Oranges.  You can get from one Sun window
to another just as fast (what you should have been comparing).

The desktop can have a *customizable* menu.  Windows have menus that
are unique to the application.

The waste is in the pixels the menu-bar uses.   The workstation menus
are popup...therefore do not clutter the screen.  You click your mouse
and presto. :)
