> I just wish MacOS would allow me to have the Minimize, Maximize/Restore,Close buttons on top-right corner (default in Windows), rather than top-left (which is counter-intuitive for right-handed users, using the mouse).
Classic Mac OS was released first, with well-considered, consistent design standards. Windows arrived almost 2 years later, and in the interest of not looking it like copied Macs, Microsoft essentially flipped the positions of everything, including window controls, toolbars, desktop icon placement, and button order. (Yes, both copied Bell Labs).
Windows has no standards, so maybe they could provide that kind of option instead.
They tried once - they released interface guidelines with Vista and for a while it worked but soon they started to flip everything over as usual. W7 was relatively a polishing up release but they mangled everything with W8 - not only because it didn't had Start button but also because they tried to combine Aero with Metro and it just look awful. It's hard to not see similarity in Apple's Liquid Glass on top of flat elements from previous releases.
All in all, Windows still comes with that 90s-early 00s flat 9x widgets buried deep beneath fancy W11 interface for compatibility reasons. Because Microsoft never could have their OS9 to OSX transition equivalent. They swapped DOS based 9x line but interface was still same - hell even NT got sprinkled with 9x and dropped old 3.x one
