Well, actually it's not as common to do that in Windows apps as in

they usually don't have "Preferences" under the Edit menu; they have

under the Edit menu (I've seen it under Configure, or File, etc.).

Amen. I certainly would not look to Windows for how to handle
preference items as there is NO consistency not even within
Microsoft's products. That said, I have been convinced by the
discussion here that I should not be disabling the Edit menu in its
entirety but rather should disable the individual items. I am glad
this problem was pointed out as it is making me fix my app.
That said as well, I still think the way Rev is handling the
Preference item, i.e. disabling it even though it has been moved on a
Mac OS X system, is a bug. I understand how it occurs but the
special handling that moves the menu item should also handle enabling
the item as well.
