[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 528733, member: 11791"] Ever wonder why? The guts of Windows design (not necessarily current code, but it was in the early versions, and the conventions were maintained) came from DOS. And DOS was based on... Unix. All the ctrl-chars? Unix. ctrl-c = copy, etc. So many other conventions etc.... all unix. Except our good friends at MS dropped some of the best ones along the way... oh well. Apple-based stuff... didn't start with unix brains, somehow. Don't know WHAT they started with... but it's a different "mind-set". [/QUOTE]
