Footer Bar in the release Windows version...

Will the first Windows release allow you to hide the footer bar (or customize it)? Currently no option exists to do either (that I’ve found anyway). I’ve been running Scrivener on a netbook and I would really like to hide the footer as I’d prefer to have all the vertical real estate I can get. I’m not familiar with the 1.0 Mac version, (which I’ve read is the target for the Windows 1.0 version) so I not sure what the feature set target is that you all are aiming for.
