It's not a DRAG UP on Windows, it's a click. The way you have to HOLD the mouse button down on the Mac is annoying.
Well it's not really a PULL DOWN, literally, either. Both are just clicks. I was just using opposite terminology.

Every other menu on Windows works from the top/down except the Start menu. Why is that? They're just trying to be different and not look like
total copycats.

I never did like the Mac's 1-button mouse much, but got used to it. At this point, though, I cannot live without a 3-button scroll mouse!
