- I don't know if the Mac OS is *better* than Windows, but it is cleaner *looking*
- (and you do have to look at your computer to use it) and (nearly) all Mac
- applications use the interface guidelines so that it is quite easy to just start
- up a new app and figure out how to use it long before you have to read the
- manual. I don't think this is true for Windows apps in general, and this is
- a significant drawback to the system.
