The Amiga's lack of "Autorise" (where a window will move to the front when it becomes active) was probably the thing I missed most moving to the PC. If you hold down the left apple key on a Mac you can force the window to stay at its current depth while dragging... But it's not the same ;)

You mean someone actually likes this? I thought everyone hated it! Why do you like it?

I read a review by someone trying out AOS4.x and he kept complaining about it and then he said that Hyperion made it so you could turn it off if you want to.
Yup, I hate autorise. Windows should stay at whatever depth I put them at... Unless I double click... Hence I always run the "ClickToFront double" option :)
