Like travelers in a foreign land, Mac users working in Windows
or Windows users working on a Mac often find themselves in
unfamiliar territory with no guidebook. "Crossing Platforms: A
Macintosh/Windows Phrasebook," with information presented in a
translation dictionary-like format, offers users a handy way of
translating skills and knowledge from one platform to the other.
Whether it's explaining the difference between Macintosh "aliases"
and Windows "shortcuts" or explaining how a Windows user would go
about setting up Internet access on a Mac, this book provides
readers a simple means to look up familiar interface elements and
system features and learn how that element or feature works on the
other platform.
"Crossing Platforms: A Macintosh/Windows Phrasebook" includes: A
general introduction to the key differences between the Mac and
Windows A to Z sections for each platform: one section where Mac
users look up familiar Macintosh terms to find the equivalent
function in Windows along with an explanation of the differences;
and another section where Windows users find familiar Windows terms
with pointers to the Macintosh equivalent along with full
descriptions of how the function works on the Mac and important
differences between the two platforms
The complete translation dictionary-like reference book,
"Crossing Platforms: A Macintosh/Windows Phrasebook" provides a
simple solution for everyone who has been confused and frustrated
by the arbitrary and sometimes capricious differences between the
Macintosh and Windows operating systems. This book bridges the
Mac-PC knowledge gap many users are faced with when work or
preference demands the use of both a PC and Mac. Whether you
already know the Macintosh or Windows, this book helps you navigate
in the other operating system using your existing skills and
knowledge.
