[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 679482, member: 3850"] Initially OS X will give you the appearance of being "simpler": You start digging around and wonder where all the "the contents of this folder have been hidden" messages are buried. Where's the hidden business like regedit, msconfig etc? That's because OS X doesn't really have as much complexity it needs to hide, simply because it uses a different OS architecture to Windows. Less is more in this case (IMO). Another aspect that is often confused as being "dumbed down" is the UI: Windows apps often come in a variety of looks and routinely include skins as well (see Winamp or Media Player). OS X tries to encourage a unified look and feel for most apps, which gives everything a weird feel at first. But you soon realize that the user experience is mostly better for it, and the apps are easily as powerful as their windows counterparts, even if their visual simplicity doesn't convey that at first.
