I tend to unmount properly because the warning messages that data may have been lost when you plug it in the next time and various other error messages can be a PITA.
Windows and Mac.
I've never actually 'lost' data.
Every drive I've had, in XP when unmounting, XP turns the drive light off.
Vista doesn't (there may be a user setting to change it, but default is no light off when safe to remove).
