You don't know there's a trash there, until you move it to an OS that doesn't hide files starting with ".". Suddenly you open it in Windows and your files are still there. AFAIK, Windows doesn't have any sort of trash for removable media. This, IMHO, is the "right way" (I can't believe I just said that), except for that fact that it doesn't really tell you that that's what it does. For the sake of people who blame their computers for deleting their only copy of worlddomination.odt, an on-by-default checkmark saying "move to home trash" sounds a little more realistic.
