Feedback was given in that general direction before the public release. I guess it goes to show that while our feedback was viewed as...less than representative, they (UX)got the general idea when the public feedback was...mostly identical :) NOTE: The previous rambling statement was in regards to general UX treatment in the Beta/RC timeframes, not on the ALL CAPS menus in particular, but feedback has definetly been given (by myself and others, internal and external) on that topic. They certainly are aware of the feedback.
I'm very surprised to learn that all caps menus were intentional. I thought it was for some other reason - maybe something along the lines of what we at Borland called "egging", i.e. using odd international characters to test for internationalization errors; in other words, maybe it was testing for UI spacing or something.
