Perhaps you're right, though I personally know lots of people who have never seen OS X, and much less used it. Doesn't OS X arrange their buttons in a different order, by the way? I hope you're right that average Windows-users won't be put off by this, though all my experience with "normal Windows users" tells me, it will. I've only tried this change on ten "normal users", but I had to explain this to eight of them. I never had to explain how to close a window when karmic was released. But you're right. The window looks much cleaner on the right side now, which is very good news for all those who read from right to left and therefore focus more on the right side than on the left. I'm also interested to see how many people will close the window instead of opening the applications- menu because of this, but if that becomes a problem, then we can just move the applications menu to the right side in the next release, right? But I'm sure extensive usability tests in the real world have proven that left is more efficient and user friendly than right, so perhaps I shouldn't worry so much.
