It appears you know little about setting up experiments. You need to 
eliminate as many extraneous variables as possible, geographic location 
could make a big difference, and this sample size is pretty small. This 
study could easily have shown Windows had the best interface.

And the sub-second time it takes to access a menu does? And the 
milliseconds difference between fixed and slightly moving menus? It 
takes me far longer to find an item in a menu than to find the menu 
itself, and I spend very little time doing that.
