What mixed environments do you mean? Windows and Linux? How about Mac?
It has a quite different button order and doesn't seem to care about mixed 
environments :)
And from what I've heard, Mac's users are happy with their beloved system :) 
Even if they work with others from time to time.

Actually the only point that got me thinking towards a current setup is 
usecase that Germain raised: when I have a lot of windows open & maximized and 
have to deside for each of them what kind of action I want to perform - close 
it or minimize it. I do this from time to time (not to say that very often). 
And to move the mouse from one side of the screen to another is a pita :) 
Espesially with todays' popular widescreen setups (/me has one).

Cheers,
Dmitry.
