A lot of the people I have spoken to at various shows and events have wanted to see more of GNOME's new Main Menu which Novell aims to deliver with SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.

The menu is accessed from a single button, labelled "Computer." There is no "My Computer" on the desktop, as our testing found that newer computer users expected anything but a file system browser to come up when they clicked on the one on Windows.

This isn't the official Gnome Main Menu. Its Novell's implementation for Enterprise Desktop 10.
Its specific to Novell's commercial distro only.
