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.
