Don't worry, check out the "defaultmenubar" prop in the docs :-)

Well, erm, there is no menubar on Windows like on the Mac (always  
visible on top of the screen).
A menubar on win are just a palette (or modeles or whatever) stack.

You have seen a PC running Win in your life before, didn't you? ;-)
