There is basic layout I designed a while ago, displaying the search menu & view:

As the two column start menu seem to create quarrel I created kind of
a hybrid of those two. From top down (- {item name}: {things in the
submenu}):
- Username, Help button
- The list of recent applications used
- My Documents: Recent files, Browse my files
- My Computer: Browse my computer, Printers, Control panel
- Network: Recent, Browse network, My shares, Network settings
- Search: Search, Recent, Advanced
- Run: Run, Recent, Advanced...

Quick post before school.
Erm. As I've stated since the start of whole
UI team conversation, I
would like to see ROS aim for classic window look (classic being XP's
classic theme) with few upgrades, like start menu. I've been designing
new way for configuring the OS but I still don't think I like it
enough...
OK, I also prefer the "classic look" of Windows. It's not wasting so much
space on the desktop for window borders and big start menu icons.
What are your ideas to improve the start menu?
I already implemented little gimmicks like the floating start menu windows
and the "program search dialog", which makes possible to search entries
in the "program" start menu folder.
