Emacs fits Windows here, which is what Windows users expect. See also Yuri's list of reasons why displaying a contextual menu on mouse-up instead of mouse-down makes sense. (But I'm not proposing that we fix all the non-Windows design-bugged behavior of showing the menu upon mouse-down - at least not outside Emacs. ;-))
