Computer Desktop - How do you use yours?

[MacRS4]

Had a curious conversation last week about how people using OSX tend to use a lot of windowed apps and yet when they use Windows they go full screen. Same with most normal Windows users - they tend to use full screen for apps.

I know this *could* be because of the behaviour of the buttons being different, but it's a curiosity isn't it? Completely different behaviour regardless?

If I'm editing a word doc I'll have it in a Window to the left of the screen and then a browser or whatever to the right - I don't do that when in Windows, I tend to full screen.

Would be interested in people's thoughts on this

You're right - it is a waste. Walking around looking at our users it seemed some 90% of the Windows users use all their apps full screen.

Looking at the Mac users, which admittedly are not huge in number, hardly any of them use full screen.

I just found that interesting.

Incidentally, top find on the SizeUp app! Great bit of coding.
