Vista does go ME if you want an expanding start menu. What you appear to be doing is trying to get everyone to use a keyboard to navigate the PC. Not everyone is a keyboard geek, and some never will be.

I had already added the run command back to the start menu, which was a good choice to have in the settings.

Now please, get someone to give the users a choice to have the all programs menu expand to the right with sub menus expanding with a mouse hover.

Bury me if you must, but MS gave us a choice of heavier keyboard navigation OR Windows ME for easier mouse navigation. They left XP out of the choice for some reason. Why is that?

I have tried to help people move forward myself with some things in the past and if MS thinks heading to MAC style only, then they will leave many people behind and disappointed I believe.

I'm sure you will tell me I'm wrong, which is fine. I'll be glad to see how long it takes for the consumer to finally say they truly accept Vista though, if they do before being totally forced to.

Winkey + R will open the run dialog on Vista or XP instantly.

Something I often use the run menu for which cannot be acheived by the search menu is navigating to a spot in the filesystem by typing the path.
