Have you read the HIG and looked at other apps?

So as view options belong under the View menu, where do you think an action to get a particular WINDOW belongs?
How do you know in advance that it's a window? You're asking the user to memorize which of an application's visual elements are windows, and which are not. Ridiculous.
> For example, if I'm using an audio application and want to show some meters, am I supposed to guess whether those meters have been implemented as a separate window or an integrated pane? That's why options like that go under View.
Very, very bad example, as it's wrong. Usually those won't be in View, usually those are tools that go into some kind of Tools menu. They're usually in utility windows or something. The Windows menu contains normal windows, usually no utility windows.
And also, a "welcome window" is never supposed to be a utility window.
Exactly, which is why it shouldn't have application controls in it.
