These aren't bad habits from the user.
These are complaints about the ergonomics of
the GUI, in other words, possible bad UI design.
A bad habit would be the OS/GUI allowing the
user to do compulsively do something wrong to
such an extent that it becomes a crutch, but
forgave the action anyway (eg: not closing
your html tags). I can't think of any bad
habits caused by either Linux or Windows or
for that matter any OS/GUI...

One of the "bad habits" is having to double-click
when a single click will do. For those of us
who use both OS's it's quite distracting, and I
think the Linux way makes more sense.
Another bad habit of MS is always having to say
"yes you may" whenever you want to print something.
I hope Linux _never_ does that! I don't know how many
times I've walked over to the network printer and
found nothing because I forgot to say, "yes you may."
