I’ve found that clicking on the green ‘+’ button in the upper left hand corner of a window does not appear to have the same effect as on a PC. On the PC, doing so causes that window to go to full screen. On the Mac, it appears to only increase the window to the biggest size it needs to be, but does not go ‘full screen’ .

In Windows deleting an item ( moving to trash ) is a single key press thing ( Press Delete key ) to do the same job in Mac you have to press two key combinations . Continue reading »

Is it the apple ( bitten ) icon at the top left corner of screen ? No that too will open Some system related tasks ( this comes close to Windows’ Start button ) . Continue reading »
