Doe thinks menus are a thing of the past – mostly. Instead of having menus stuck at the top of the screen, in the Menu bar, menus are attached to application windows or icons in the Dock and Finder: much like contextual menus that you right-click to activate. In the screen above, the Finder’s icon in the Dock brings up a version of the “File” menu that is normally found in the upper Menu bar. Likewise, a menu attached to the Command Bar brings up options for Expose. “Because it allows for multiple users on larger displays, it didn’t make sense to leave the menus in the Menu Bar at the top of the screen,” Doe explains.
