APPLEVISION Monitor

Well, if you want it to act like windows, configure it to act like windows. In fact, go one step better: give the user a menu of N choices, where N is the number of tasks you require of them. That removes all guess-work. Nothing would prevent you from doing that. I guess my point here is that user interface is not such a problem when choosing different platforms. You can always get (or write) an add-on, and probably much more easily than you can get or write an add-on which will do, for instance, file restriction by ACL. Of course, I have my UI preferences, and you have yours, but when it comes down to it, they're similar enough already that you can make one act "close enough" to the other to avoid confusion most of the time.
