This is why some people still find it difficult to switch across platforms. Freeware is also available for windows users, Pc have Programs around 50,000 Compatible with it and MAc only has around 5,000 which is a huge margin. The Mac cult may argue about their’s being superior. And considering that Windows still has majority share in the world’s consumer OS market, how effective a UI may no longer be inherent in the operating system’s design. Going beyond the My-OS-is-better-than-your-OS arguments, though, it’s really a matter of how effectively the machine can interface with the human. There’s the Mac camp, and there’s the Windows camp, and there are the people that see things more objectively. Perhaps more interesting and intriguing with the article is the reader discussion that ensues. Do you work (or play) better when you have a good grasp of the overall picture? Or do you need to be constantly focused on one thing? Still, one has to consider that the human brain was not designed for multitasking. So, rather than jumping back and forth between window sizes a Windows person would just go full screen and stay there. In windows, there is no easy way to contract a window view. In the case of a browser it expands and contracts to the width of the web page. The button that most Windows people assume will expand a window to full screen instead, in OS X, expands or contracts to the documents dimensions.

In Mac OS X, the green “+” button would simply resize the current window to its optimal width and height, taking into consideration the current window contents.īecause it is a simple matter for a OS X user to increase the width of their browser on a case by case basis there is never a need to stretch to full screen. In Windows, the big rectangular box would maximize a window, causing it to take up all space on the screen except for the taskbar.
In particular, it’s all about the “maximize” button and how it affects the user’s workflow. Chris argues over at that the fundamental difference between Windows and Mac users lies not so much in the user interface in general, but only certain specific characteristics of the UI.
