> I suspect there is a bit of AI in windows which predicts when someone clicks a mouse button that they actually wanted to click the mouse button over the screen button, ie something to improve the accuracy and experience of windows.

Could you elaborate on which kind of situations you think you have seen this in? I really don't think I've seen this happen.

Repetitive mouse clicks going in and out of a few MDI child windows.

A list of things, select one, new window popup, do some check box ticking with the mouse, click the window close button (top right) , select next item in the list and repeat.

I saw this in a version of XP and havent seen it since. How I knew, was I deliberately didnt click on the checkbox but near to it and did the same with the close button in the top right of the window, and they both worked like I had clicked on them properly!

In a way that repetitive situation is perfect for AI.
