Watched my coworker move her cursor to the right edge of her right-hand monitor to get it to over to the left side of her left-hand monitor. When I offered to show her how to adjust her display settings, she said she was used to it and didn't want to change it. I don't think I can walk by her desk while she's working ever again.

And on macOS people not understanding that just because all the windows of an application are closed it doesn’t mean it’s not running.

I actually love this design because there’s no need for a window to be there while playing music for example.
