> The Windows 7-style Start Menu is modal too in the sense that you can't interact with the desktop at the same time you are interacting with the Start Menu.

Huh? If you define it that way then everything is modal because you can only ever interact with one window at a given time (one mouse, one keyboard, etc.)

No, Windows 7 Start Menu is different.

If I open it, start typing, and switch to a different window, then it loses all of its state, and has to restart from scratch if I go back to it.
