C.TheWindows-to-MacDictionary
Maybe you were persuaded by the Apple "Switch" ad campaign. Maybe you like the
looks of today's Macs. Or maybe you've just had one virus, spyware download, or service
pack too many. In any case, if you're switching to Mac OS X from Windows, this
appendix is for you. It's an alphabetical listing of every common Windows function and
where to find it in Mac OS X. After all, an operating system is an operating system. The
actual functions are pretty much the same—they're just in different places.
Tip: If this listing only whets your appetite for information about making the switch, read
Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition. In addition to an expanded
version of this appendix, it also contains useful information on moving your files from
the PC to the Mac, copying over your email, transferring your contacts to Address Book,
and so on.

To find out the version number of the program you're using, don't look in the Help menu.
Instead, look in the application menu next to the menu—the one that bears the name
of the program you're in. That's where you find the About command for Macintosh
programs.
