This drives me nuts and I wish I could turn it off.

To be fair, it doesn't bug me when I use stumpwm instead of the default WM, but the default WM is otherwise quite nice for most things.

Unlike Windows, you CAN turn that off. Ultimately it's a service you can either configure or remove or even replace with another.

Even at it's worst, the worst distro with the worst default behavior, it's still nothing close to as inconsiderate as Windows.

I don't understand the complaint.
