Help tab should consist of more than an "About" entry. If it doesn't have Help...don't call it Help.

Nope. Putting "about" in the help menu is standard GUI design under Windows. (theres even some dumb acronym for it :-) Although I agree that putting "help" in the help menu is usually more important than putting "about" in the help menu. I assume that this is an early release so he's probably waiting for some users (and English ones at that) to help write up his help files.

Hmm, on second though, im guessing, but somehow i suspect that if there _had_ been help there it would have been in german. :-)

    Hmm, agree that the "About" tabs are usually under "Help" menus in most Windows apps, however when there is only "About", I have usually seen it under a (redundantly named) "About" menu.

    Style I guess, I just think that if you advertise Help, it should be there :) And you may be right, help may be on the way and he is using it as a placeholder.
