Telling people what they are currently doing is stupid is more likely to make them dig in and refuse to change than to get results you actually want. However I am also unclear on the rationale behind this. When I hit Esc I want to escape, and to stop, cancel or close the current dialog in the safest most non destructive manner possible. I have a fair idea where my expectations have come from on this issue. Anyone have detailed information on how Microsoft does this and why?
