Yes, instead of the menu bar they have this weird bar with "Organize", "New Folder", and "Burn". Not sure why "Burn" on every single explorer window; maybe they think all users are Napster fiends or something...

Here's an image from the Microsoft article for those who don't know what it looks like in Windows 7: http://blogs.msdn.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-bl...
Small nitpick: "Burn" doesn't show if you click on the main options of the left tree ("Favorites", "Libraries", etc).
I find it interesting because it clearly shows something changed on the last couple of years, we still remember how important burning something was, right?

Burn shows up because that bar is designed to show the options that you'd get in the top section of a context menu.
If you don't have anything selected you only get Organize and New folder. If you select a PDF you get Open with X, Print, and E-mail added.
Because every file can technically be "burned" when you have a CD burner it shows up all over the place.
