How is that different for someone who uses Linux to "actually get work
done" versus someone who uses Windows to "actually get work done"?  If
your work demands lots of open windows, then you probably won't
maximize, irrespective of which OS you're using.

Of course, you can feel free to insert your favorite "getting work
done on Windoze" joke here.
