But then on Windows thesedays, most apps don’t have a menu-bar either - Edge, Paint, WordPad, File Explorer, Calculator, Mail, News, Weather, Photos and Groove Music all don’t (at-least, not a traditional-style one, below the window-titlebar).

Maybe there is some third-party software you could install that could put one above the app’s top border or something. Man, this forum-post feels like something from the mid-2000s… same kind of complaints as back then!"Why can’t application windows have their own menus"Because they just don’t on macOS, it’s never been a thing there. If you go to something and you want it to work the way of what you are leaving – you should not even bother leaving… it is stupid to even try - since you are only setting yourself to be disappointed from the get-go. When it is on, if I want to see what windows are active - I just right click it and it lists them. To launch, cmd-space (Alfred even better), I actually set the dock to hidden and it only is displayed if I hit cmd-D to toggle it on. If you were a power user, I don’t think you would really care about the dock vs taskbar as both are inefficient.

If I have multiple windows, I don’t waste space by having 3 menu bars for 3 windows… And now with Windows being completely confusing, some applications have a menu, some have the same functionality hidden elsewhere, some use ribbons - it is a comical mess that I find much more confusing.Windows has multiple instances of an application running, I believe macOS has one ‘instance’ running with multiple windows (only one copy of executable code in memory).

I got use to it very quickly, and now, it is the way I prefer it… I always know where to find the menu - at the top.

"Why can’t application windows have their own menus? I mean, what kind of a dumb UI is that, to have the application menu detached from the window and placed at the top of the screen? In Windows, each window has its own menu, nice and easy."Going from Windows to macOS in 2007… it is just different… when I select something different, I don’t expect it to be the same - I learn how to do it the new way. I’ll stick with it for now, but boy am I disappointed so far… I was hoping to be wowed by Mac OS, but I’m not. So far, for me as a power user, Windows is winning hands down. And toggling an application by clicking on the icon in the dock doesn’t work like it does in the Windows task bar. You can’t even see the instances in the Dock unless they are minimised. Why can’t application windows have their own menus? I mean, what kind of a dumb UI is that, to have the application menu detached from the window and placed at the top of the screen? In Windows, each window has its own menu, nice and easy.Īpplication switching is a real pain in Mac OS, especially if you have multiple instances of the same application running. I’ve used older Macs before and I find it incredibly frustrating compared to Windows. Given all the rave reviews, I figured why not…

I already have a keyboard, mouse and monitor, so it kind of made sense. So my Windows desktop mini PC needed replacing (currently running with an SSD and Windows 10), and I decided to get an M1 Mac Mini as the replacement.
