Considering that MS spend so much time usability testing, it is a pity that they have to have the minimise, maximise and exit buttons so close together... how many times have you closed the window when you went to maximise it.
What linux needs is not to clone windows, but provide a UI that is more user friendly. It is good to see that linux is starting to stand on its own (with things like bluecurve for example), and not trying to completely copy the windows UI (thank goodness the days of fvwm95 and the suchlike are gone). Personally, I'd like to see something like Directory Opus ported to linux and used as the default file manager - it's much more powerful and flexible than any of the other current file managers used by Linux (and windows for that matter).
