Not all that important, but why does Windows XP dim the screen to grayscale when you get the 3 button image to let you click to turn off the PC, standby, or restart? I never noticed any reason behind it myself.
To me, you are coming across as biased, or possibly trolling.To make it function like a Mac. More people are familiar with WindowsXP than any MacOS, so when most see an Apple do it, they assume Apple copied Microsoft. That's what Microsoft has always done: stolen credit. Always.
I have not experienced similar on a mac, unless OS X did something for a while but do not anymore that I have seen, but last I saw either you pressed the button on the keyboard and you got a beep and "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?" and your options but no gradual loss of color.
Windows 10 shuts down and restarts after updates doesn't it?Who shuts down computers? Is that a thing? I haven't shut off a computer as long as I can remember.

Turning a computer on and off all the time can wear out hardware worse than leaving it on.Really? I thought everyone shuts down their PC mainly to conserve energy and to help the hardware last longer.
Both Apple and Microsoft got their ideas from Xerox PARC who developed the Alto personal computer. It had a bitmapped screen, and was the first computer to demonstrate the desktop metaphor and graphical user interface (GUI)Although Micro$oft stole Apple's ideas, they made their version better in my opinion. Nothing beats Windows XP.
