The RMB's are excellent - I like how they show the title of the menu you're
working on. I still like the idea of having a menu item (not just RMB) for
changing programs, because as many have pointed out, new users just won't see
that RMB.
I've made a few modifications to pass on - mostly just filled out some menus.
I thought we could evaluate just putting documents on the Recent Items menu -
this is more "document-centric" for what that's worth (Cdn$.00001 :) ). I
also notice when I tried to fill out the Music and Movies - Multimedia seems
like a vague term to me that there's lots of disparate actions here:
Play MP3s
Play movies
Download music
Rip CDs
Burn CDs
Edit Music
Edit Movies
Play RealMedia
Play Ogg
Seeing as we're not likely to get all those applications to be condensed any
time soon, perhaps we better think about a slightly modified way of
addressing this menu....

Excellent way to get the party started. Great work!
Cheers,
Eric
