I think you suppose incorrectly.
The screen-edge menu bar is one of the most significant usability
achievements of the last 25 years. Apple's not going to throw it out
unless the alternative is *very* substantially better. While
OPENSTEP's menu palette has some of the same usability advantages
when it's bound to a screen edge, it isn't substantially better.
