One thing I also forgot was the way software on Macs handles choice buttons. On a Windows box it's usually, "OK" and "Cancel" or some such preceded by a question. "Do you want to do actions XYZ?" This can sometimes be confusing.
In OSX land, there is a nice tendency to put a verb on the buttons like "Yes, Do XYZ" or "Not right now" or something descriptive and unambiguous and creates a nice cognitive binding between buttons and actions. It's a simple thing but is noticeable and I wish it would start to bleed over in Windowsland more.
