I have XP configured so that ejecting a USB flash drive is unnecessary.
Leopard doesn't give that option.
Does that make XP a better OS?
No. Your PC simply has no USB ports.
Or it does and delayed write to removable drives has been turned off in his XP install. Just makes it less likely to cause problems...
Possibly, but the idiot who tries a delayed write and then yanks his thumb drive offline is likely to find that a few of his files haven't made it onto the drive from the cache yet.
More likely, he thinks the "quick removal" setting protects his data. Sadly, while that might reduce incidents of corrupt files on the drive, it doesn't do much for files that are open/in-use and removing without ejecting can still cause directory damage.
