    I came from a DOS world, to Windows. I learned to use a mouse about the same time I installed Windows 2.something. There really wasn't much graphics on desktops before that. I'll note that Microsoft followed the apparent conventions of most graphical applications that I had used already. So, decorations and such were Microsoft centric. When I moved on to Linux, I found the Microsoft ways to be pretty much default, and I never had reason to change things up. To this day, I expect a title bar, and a menu bar, laid out along the lines of Microsoft Windows. If there is a 'better' way to do things, I just don't care very much.

    There isn't a better way, just different ways. I stick with top-right in Linux because it means I don't have to be confused when I'm on my gaming rig. I do really miss Alt-LMBdrag for window moving if it's not available though.
