Re: @ Don Cox /UI issues

In BeOS, however, the menu bar is put in a window which can be moved around. This is proved to be less efficient!

The menu always sits in a corner of the screen.

It offers hardly anything that other OSes should try to imitate...

That's why I spent a whole week trying to get the same functionnality with OS X UI, adding some little things like TigerLaunch, ASM, Browse Volumes, etc.
I do agree nevertheless that the BeOS UI "definitely could have been better".
