No, learn how to use your Windows machine.
Yes, the Mac has metadata and keeps data about file creator and which
application to use to open it, which means multiple apps can use the
same file assocation (at least, it used to be that way -- did OS X's
UNIX origins remove that?).
Windows doesn't work that way.
Cause Windows is a kludge. And I know how to use my Windows system thank
you very much.
I've often complained about that, having the wish that MS would
implement a more modern file system, but it's been that way for as
long as Windows has existed and anyone who doesn't know how to work
with file associations simply doesn't have training necessary to be a
normal every-day Windows user.
See the above. Windows is a kludge.
You may claim that Mac doesn't require any training, but that's
obvious BS -- you have to have certain basic understandings of the
conventions and workings of any OS in order to make it work. What you
have to know is different between Mac and Windows, but you still have
to have certain knowledge to keep things running smoothly.
Not true at all. You stated above that the Mac has metadata that keeps
track of things. So, even though I have .BAK word and .BAK Finale and
other files, the Mac OS can open the right program to run them. Hell,
you can even get rid of the extensions and it will know what to open the
files with.
So, it's NOT BS. The Mac KNOWS what to open files with.
