I am serious, and it's all about how things are named and how the OS interacts with you.
Some examples (imagine you've never used a computer before):
- "file explorer" on Windows, "finder" on Mac. This is just an example of naming that I think it's just confusing to users, among many other names
- a red "X" to close a program on windows, a random square with no color differentiation on the Mac
- a clear view of what programs are running in the taskbar on Windows vs. the current active program in the top right
- taskbar showing date + time and the calendar "on click" on Windows vs. time, date on click & no calendar on the Mac
... and the list can go on. I honestly believe they screwed up by acting too smart, when people wanted something simple that makes sense to them.
- robotresearcher 4y ago- a clear view of what programs are running in the taskbar on Windows vs. the current active program in the top right The top right current program name has the running programs in a dropdown on click. You can 'tear off' the dropdown menu to create an always-visible task bar, either in the dropdown format or as nice little icons.
