After Spending the past few weeks testing and tweaking the 2.7 dashboard, I have to say, this is so much more practical.

Although vertical menus can work well on a wordpress dashboard, I am not too crazy about the ones 2.7 has now.

If no one from wordpress takes note of it, maybe consider making it an admin template plugin? I would be happy to help in the creation of one as soon as I get a better understanding of the new admin interface.
