They forgot personalized menus, one of the worst user interface ideas ever in Microsoft products.

Oh, God, I HATE those. And even worse than the style that hides the ones you don’t use very much is the style that reorders the ones remaining, meaning you have to find what you want anew almost every time you open a menu. Real bright.

Is that the thing in Office where the menus hide most of their options by default, unless you click the little down arrow to display everything?

If so, I agree with you - it’s the first thing I turn off when I install any Office product. But AFAIK nothing in Windows itself uses such menus, does it?
