Default Computer Science theory about Windows vs. Mac Design term?

Yo,

I was talking with a friend the other day and I forgot the theory (the name) he used behind the concept.

He stated:

With windows you can blindly point to any corner of the screen and it will always have a meaning. Such as, the close (X) is in the upper right, the start button is in the lower left, the desktop is in the upper left and clock is in the lower right.

The term had to do with the emphasis on the corners of the screen and how windows is single task oriented.

Any ideas before I call him tomorrow?
