What Apple and Microsoft have right:

Buttons should be color coded. 
The close button should be red
The close should be marked by an 'X'
Icons should be uniform.

What Apple and Microsoft have wrong:

The close button should not be placed by other buttons.
The close button should be very distinctive and easy to find.
