Bad Habit?

Not sure if its just me! I am very used to double-clicking on the {control button} as its called on top left corner of a window to close it, rather than use the "X" on the top right corner, guess its a very old habit.

More recently, having trouble getting accustomed to the "false window" that is displayed to make the window look cooler. Taking example of Windows Live messenger, the window I see looks like

By force of habit, i double click on the window icon on the top left corner and the window maximises, rather than close :)


If i hit "Alt", the window reveals the control button and that works as normal. I double-click on the messenger icon and that closes the window


Is this a problem with me or should the thought have gone into the application design since the double-click-to-close was always provided as a feature in "normal" windows.

I am now having to get used to "normal" way of closing windows :)
