I am using Windows right now.  I click on menu and immediately let go of the 
mouse.  On the Mac it goes away, and on Windows it stays.  Why would I just 
click on the menu and then let go of the mouse button immediately?  I don't 
know; I guess I do it while scanning menus for commands.  It's just my 
personal habit from using the Mac, and it gets annoying while I'm using 
Windows.  Also, if you pull down the wrong menu, Windows needs an extra 
click to get rid of it without selecting something (unless you have held the 
mouse button down while looking at the menu, but I don't do that).  Before you 
take this the wrong way, remember that I am not calling this some sort of 
fatal flaw in Windows--I'm just wondering whether anything exists to change it.
