consistency is more important than "correctness". It's normally expressed
by saying that you should follow any standard (de facto or otherwise) unless
you can achieve more than a 100% usability gain.
As a professional human factors person my personal opinion is that both OX X
and XP score about even (overall) on usability. Both have frustrations,
neither is completely immediately intuitive and both show that we've miles
to go before the holy grail of the "invisible interface". ;^)

Mike,
I disagree with you. Just because we have learned how to deal with the
way that Windows GUI functions does not mean that that is the best way
that it should of been done. If fact I would say that most of the time
they do it wrong but they are consistently wrong. So, I guess, in a
warped way it works.
