What are the main differences between Mac and Windows?

Mac and Windows work differently in three big ways: the menu bar sits at the top on Mac, closing a window doesn't close the app, and you use Command instead of Control for keyboard shortcuts. Mac isn't harder — it's just different. Once you learn the shortcuts, it feels natural.

Switching from Windows to Mac means learning new conventions. The Mac isn't harder or slower — it's just designed differently. The three biggest differences are the menu bar at the top (not in each window), the split between closing a window and closing the app itself, and keyboard shortcuts using Command instead of Control.
