But when I say "feel", I'm not talking about the complexity and difficulty of the various utilities. I mean just the basic movement and response of the mouse and keyboard and UI elements, regardless of which program is running at the time.
Yeah, sorry. I went off on a rant there.
I still think that, while the UI is more consistent under Windows (excepting, of course, Microsoft applications), the paradigms they've chosen are all wrong.
That said, I think that the paradigms that MacOSX chose (foreground applications instead of windows, the systemwide menu bar, etc.) are potentially even wronger, but I can actually accomplish real work with a shell under it, so I give it a pass.
