you had to do it in Windows 3.1, there were no minimize/maximize/close buttons at the top right. i dropped that habit after using Windows 95 for a while though. as n0cmonkey stated above, solaris still uses this method.

I used 3.1 back in the day, but I guess since the X in the upper right I never looked back.

Double click icon if I'm near it
Click on X if I'm near it
Right click on the taskbar & Close if I'm near it

Basically whatever is the easiest 🙂

whatever's most convenient. Although sometimes I like to use the taskmgr and kill the task just to show it who's boss.
