It's pretty obvious Luke. People read from Top to Bottom. Menus on the bottom expand upwards, requiring the eye to move Bottom to Top. Using menus on the top of the screen is more natural and more intuitive.
You'll notice that Macintoshes have used Top menus since their inception. There's a reason for that.
