You put your 7 favourite apps on the start menu, and the 5 Most Recently Used contains the other ones. This way you avoid scrolling if you use the Zip utility a lot.
It's a while since I used WM, but as I recall I ended up assigning some Start menu slots to things that weren't apps - like the Today screen button, Programs folder, Settings folder - and assigning other slots to basic 'housekeeping' apps like File Explorer, Find and Help. Add in a few slots for recent apps and pretty soon you're down to just a handful of slots for main apps that are always there. Whether this is ok for you probably depends on your usage patterns, but I found quite infuriating after the simplicity of the Palm solution: hit the home button and all of your apps are there.
