Is there a generally accepted name for the Mac's completely bizarre mouse focus policy? If you don't know: click to focus for the left mouse button but point to focus for the others.
In some cases it's very deliberate user interaction choices (it should be possible to easily place keyboard focus in a safari window without accidentally following a non-obvious link, or on the other side clicking the pause button in iTunes probably means you want to pause now—whether the window has keyboard focus or not—because the pause button is big and obvious), but there seem to be a lot of hold overs from before they started taking this use case based approach.
One thing I think they've got wonderfully right in 10.5 which really annoys me in Windows is that scroll events go to the container the mouse pointer is over when you move the scroll wheel.
