Fine, as long as that assumption has been TESTED with "standard
non-power Windows users", i.e. the masses.

Since I come from a Windows background, and since I avoided using a
mouse like the plague, I figured I was well-qualified to comment.

I realize now that I may not have a very representative view of what
sensible dialogue behaviour is, given your comments above.  So long as
you're not just saying that, and someone's actually proven it to be
true by taking a reasonably sized sample.

Ciao,
