You are now complaining about how a web-poll was set-up and not about the
questions it asked.

Right now KDE has menubars identical to the way Windows is set up (each
app/window has a menubar). And if we moved to universal menubar as default
(like Mac OS does), it would be "a lot like Windows"? We would be moving away
from Windows-way of working towards the way Mac OS works, and according to
you, that's "a lot like Windows"? I'm sorry, but you are not making any
sense.
And what we are talking about here is the default setting, not mandatory
setting. If the user wants per-window menubars, he could have them.

And where exactly am I saying that this should be mandatory? I'm suggesting
that this should be the new DEFAULT setting. If the user doesn't like it, he
could change it to per-window menubars.

Expose? What does that have to do with the subject at hand? Well, FWIW, I
think Expose is a great feature. Even with virtual desktops, your desktop can
get cluttered. Expose or something like that is a great way to manage those
windows. I don't use virtual desktops on KDE.

Well, right now it takes about 1 minute to switch between those settings. Why
should it be any different if the default was changed?
