The promise of it happening across the many flavors of Unix isn't even a distant dream. We live in a Windows world, whether we like it or not. Companies that want to coexist need to make it easy for their uses to live there in peace. Apple needs to make the Macintosh more Windows-like. No, no they don't have to make it coarse and quirky.
Consistency is a funny thing.
The way a lot of these work is backwards in Windows. No, let me correct that. Now, it is backwards in Macintosh. Command-C for Cut, etc. Windows uses the Control key.
