@Bob Pendleton - I've been at this since 1978, so I can relate with everything you've said, as I've had similar experiences. I think Mark and company have enough data on what most users would like, for it to be min,max,close on the right-hand side, and clearly this is the majority of end-users.

Why don't we use both styles(left and right)? Example: - moving mouse to the right corner = buttons switch from default position(e.g. left) to the right side with the order: minimize,maximize,close - moving mouse to the left corner = buttons stay in default position(e.g. left):

@bt90: This is a really GREAT IDEA! - And the coolness factor could be also given by displaying no buttons at all and only when you get near to the title bar (let's say about twice the height of the title bar) they are displayed left or right depending on which corner is nearer to your mouse.
