Yes, and I anticipate many very annoying support issues with my clients
as a result... Microsoft is apparently determined to eliminate the Menu
Bar as an interface characteristic (I've heard that the latest version
of Office also eliminates it)... one very annoying example of what
disappears as a result is the "Find in page" feature (Cntl-F). The first
thing I do when I upgrade someone to IE7 is turn on the Menu Bar... and
I've noticed that almost every other computer I've touched with IE7 has
it turned back on...
