The biggest differences: the menu bar is always at the top not in each window, closing a window doesn't quit the app, and you use Command key instead of Control for shortcuts. The Mac isn't harder — it's just different.
Switching from Windows to Mac means relearning some conventions. The Mac isn't harder — it's just different. The three biggest adjustment points are the persistent top menu bar, the distinction between closing a window and quitting an app, and keyboard shortcuts using Command instead of Control.
