Well that was not the case with the last time I used OSX. You click on finder and it would not open a second window. This is not how Windows or Gnome/Kwin work.

you have been able to right click (or i guess two finger click for apple people) and open a second window forever.

Yeah, like I was saying. You have to do it the way they want rather than just click on it like every other GUI.

One thing I really did like was the use of the drop down menu. I really appreciate all programs using the same basic interface.

I absolutely hated all the Microsoft Ribbon bar nonsense. They have reinvented it so many times you never know where to find anything.
