You know, it was only a couple weeks ago that I found myself sitting in front of a Mac trying to resize a window by click on the upper-left corner of the window.

Oh yeah, this is a Mac, where the only way to resize a window is first drag it and then use the lower-right corner to resize it. I guess Microsoft has the patent on "any corner window resizing."

But I quibble at details. Just give me a computer with a UI that I can configure to my tastes (along with the keyboard and monitors of my choice), and I won't care one wit what it runs underneath. I guess there's a patent for that somewhere out there too, since nobody has achieved that.
