MS Office is different on the two -- or was when I last played. For the
most part I prefer the macOS versions. Photoshop, for example, has the
Mac color picker. Makes a big difference for me. Almost all apps have a
saved-status indicator (though that is less important now than it the
past). Most documents have a proxy icon which I often use... and the
ability to see the path to the file easily, and rename and move it
without going to the Finder (Explorer). Lots of other little benefits I
miss when on other systems.
