Sorry, but just because you see few sites with does not mean it is not good. 
Keeping the navigation on the right hand side has a lot of ups and only one 
down: it's not used too often. 

See my post to Neil.

Two bars are too much IMO, too much overhead. I really don't see any use in 
it.

The bar on the left size is the way most sites do it. But does that make it 
good? No. It only has one plus, ppl have seen it before.

So we should all use windows? MOST users use it... :P
