Ah, as opposed to focus-follows-mouse? Sure, that's a move away from
how window managers have been in the past - but it's important to
separate this from "copied from Windows" and "adapted to other
platforms, including WIndows"
"click to focus" isn't really a feature in itself, it's really just a
design choice in the UI.

Agreed. OSX has double-click to minimize :)

OSX has cmd-alt-esc for shutdown process, but that's because
cmd-alt-esc has always been shutdown the front process back before
preemptive multitasking.

Just like in OSX - but XP/OSX was released pretty much at the same
time.

Yeah - that's just weird. OSX - hard drives and mounted volumes on the
desktop.

Displayed in a normal file manager window? Well, dunno if that could
be called copied in that way? I mean - that's also one of two design
choices - all-in-one or separate? OSX does it all-in-one for instance.

Indeed.

Indeed.
