Though I have to say I've always wondered why anyone would want anything at the bottom of the screen as every program window has its controls at the top so you have to move the cursor right across the screen when going from one to the other.
I don't have a strong personal preference but accidentally closing something when I meant to select it is a downside of having the two menus close to each other. I also don't frequently go from opening something to closing it so this issue hasn't really cropped up for me.
But in this case the reason is: it's where XP has its start menu, and I want something similar, rather than (what would seem like) different for difference sake.
