Couldn't agree more. You just pull down a menu and everything else come to a
grinding halt. Incredible. In OS X, even if an application is completely
screwed up, you can still pull down the system-wide menus and they still
work. And when you pull down those menus, all other applications are still
running and updating like if nothing had happened...
