虽然Windows主宰了桌面 PC 世界，但喜欢MacOS的人(MacOS) 真的很(really )喜欢MacOS。Apple 经久不衰的操作系统有很多值得推荐的地方，并且充满了数百种直观的小触感，让工作和娱乐更加愉快。
这并不意味着Windows没有引起注意。虽然它可能已经处于领先地位，但微软的人们并没有放弃从竞争对手那里获得一个好主意并在(Microsoft)Windows 10中做类似的事情。哎呀(Heck)，有时它只是趋同进化，两个特征恰好相似，因为两者都为同一个问题提供了很好的解决方案。
虽然没有人会争辩说Windows和MacOS提供了相同的体验，但以下Windows功能将(Windows)MacOS的一些最受欢迎的方面带到了 PC OS 王者面前。
黑暗模式(Dark Mode)
啊黑暗模式。如今，人们似乎希望在市场上的每一个应用程序和设备中都具备这一功能。基本上，它将所有浅色 UI 元素变成深色元素。
人们首先需要暗模式功能的原因各不相同。一些人认为这会使他们的电池续航时间更长，而另一些人则不喜欢“光模式”令人眼花缭乱的亮度。它似乎在那些喜欢坐在黑暗中使用电脑工作的人中特别受欢迎。我们不是在评判，但也许时不时打开一盏灯？
无论(Regardless)您为什么想要暗模式，随着MacOS Mojave的发布，Apple用户都获得了包括所有本机应用程序的系统范围的暗模式。这让很多人非常高兴，不久之后Windows 10就有了自己的深色主题(dark theme)。这(Which)几乎是一回事。现在，从Mac(Mac)切换到Windows PC时，您无需投资购买一套新的色调。
“你的手机”就像安卓的 iMessage(“Your Phone” Is Like iMessage For Android)
Apple在将各种硬件设备相互集成方面做得非常出色。Mac 上的 iMessage(iMessage on Mac)就是一个很好的例子。您可以从 iPhone 无缝过渡到Mac并继续进行对话，而不会跳过一个节拍。
Windows 10 现在有一个名为“你的手机(Your Phone)”的应用程序，它可以做到这一点以及更多。如果您的Android手机带有 7.0 版或更高版本的移动操作系统，您可以连接这两个设备，基本上将手机的功能移植到您的Windows机器上。
这包括能够从您的Windows计算机回复短信、在您的计算机上获取电话通知以及从桌面访问您的照片。
这是一个非常有用的应用程序，如果您的 Windows 10 计算机上还没有它，您可以从Windows Store免费获取它。
“就近分享”就像AirDrop(“Nearby Sharing” Is Like AirDrop)
AirDrop是(AirDrop)Apple设备最有用的功能之一。它使通过本地网络在Mac(Macs)和 iOS 设备之间快速共享文件变得轻而易举。
多年来，人们一直想要在Windows中使用类似 AirDrop 的功能，而“附近共享”非常接近。在撰写本文时，Android和 iOS 都在路线图上，但目前它仅适用于Windows PC(Windows PCs)之间。
一旦添加了移动操作系统支持，就类似于 AirDrop 的功能而言，macOS 和 Windows 之间将几乎完美对等。
Xbox 应用可以替代 Quicktime 屏幕录像机(The Xbox App Can Replace Quicktime Screen Recorder)
根据您所做的工作类型，您可能经常需要屏幕录像机。(screen recorder)无论(Whether)是尝试向某人展示问题、创建培训材料还是只是创建可共享的内容，屏幕录像机都是现代数字生活的重要工具。
在 MacOS 中，我们有Quicktime (Quicktime S)Screen (c)Recorder(reen Recorder)，这是一个简单的实用程序，可让您根据屏幕上发生的任何事情制作视频文件。好吧，事实证明，您可以使用Windows 10 Xbox应用程序来做几乎相同的事情。
它有一个内置的屏幕录像机，可以使用键盘快捷键激活。您首先需要通过按Win+G并授予权限来激活Xbox应用的游戏栏。(Game Bar)从那时起，您只需按Win+Alt+R即可开始或停止屏幕录制。
Windows 任务栏现在真的是一个 Dock(The Windows Taskbar Is Really a Dock Now)
多年来，Windows用户非常羡慕MacOS中的扩展坞。用于早期版本的Windows(Windows)的第三方停靠应用程序大量增加，例如RocketDock。
但是，您不会发现最近发布的任何此类 Windows 应用程序。这是因为Windows 10中的任务栏在很大程度上使扩展坞如此受欢迎。您可以将所有最常用的应用程序固定到它。多个窗口堆叠成单个图标，您只需将光标悬停即可预览它们。
如今，拥有诸如Steam或Adobe Creative Cloud之类的应用程序启动器已经很正常了，因此大多数人只需要在他们的任务栏上放置十几个固定图标。
Cortana 就像 Siri(Cortana Is Like Siri)
Siri是MacOS的流行功能吗？我们永远不会知道有多少人实际使用Siri作为MacOS用户的比例，但我们可以说Siri工作得非常好。
Apple在 iPhone 4S 上率先推出了这种对话界面，现在它可以在所有Apple设备上使用。Siri直观、准确、快速。使许多常见任务更容易完成。
在Windows 10上，我们将Cortana作为语音助手和智能搜索应用程序。Cortana不如Siri完善，但随着时间的推移，微软(Microsoft)一直在稳步改进服务。事实上，就纯大脑而言，Cortana实际上可能整体上更好。
在早期，由于Cortana笨重，用户倾向于禁用它，但如果你有一段时间没有尝试使用它，那么绝对值得再次启动它。你可能会感到惊讶。
两全其美的(The Best of Both Worlds)
竞争是好事。一个只有一种操作系统占主导地位的世界是一个没有创新的世界。当Apple在 macOS 上做一些值得称赞的事情时，Windows 用户(users)会受益，反之亦然。
虽然两者之间永远不会有同等的用户体验，但同时使用两者的人，或者只是那些隔着栅栏表现出一点嫉妒的人，可以通过相同的功能获得两全其美，无论是现在还是未来。
6 Windows Equivalents To Popular MacOS Features
While Windowѕ dominates the desktop PC world, thоse who love MacOS really love MacOS. Apple’s enduring operating system has a lot to recommend it and is filled with hundreds of little intuitive touches that make work and play more pleasant.
That doesn’t mean Windows hasn’t been taking notice. While it may already be on top, the folks over at Microsoft are not above taking a good idea from their competitor and doing something similar in Windows 10. Heck, sometimes it’s just convergent evolution, where two features happen to be similar because both provide a good solution to the same problem.
While no one could argue that Windows and MacOS provide the same experience, the following Windows features bring some of the most popular aspects of MacOS to the PC OS king.
Dark Mode
Ah dark mode. It’s a feature people seem to want in every single app and device on the market these days. Basically, it turns all the light UI elements into dark ones.
People have varying reasons why they want dark mode functionality in the first place. Some believe it will make their batteries last longer and others don’t like the eye-searing brightness of “light mode”. It seems especially popular among those who like to sit in darkness and work on their computer. We’re not judging, but maybe turn on a light every now and then?
Regardless of why you want dark mode, with the release of MacOS Mojave, Apple users got a system-wide dark mode that included all native apps. This made plenty of people very happy and it wasn’t long until Windows 10 got its own dark theme. Which is very nearly the same thing. Now you don’t need to invest in a new set of shades when switching from a Mac to a Windows PC.
“Your Phone” Is Like iMessage For Android
Apple has done a marvelous job of integrating their various hardware devices with each other. iMessage on Mac is a great example of this. You can seamlessly transition from your iPhone to your Mac and carry on with conversations, without skipping a beat.
Windows 10 now has an app called “Your Phone”, which does this and more. If you have an Android phone with version 7.0 of the mobile OS or later, you can connect the two devices and basically get your phone’s function ported through to your Windows machine.
That includes being able to reply to text messages from your Windows computer, getting phone notifications on your computer and having access to your photos from the desktop.
It’s an incredibly useful application and if it’s not already on your Windows 10 computer, you can pick it up for free from the Windows Store.
“Nearby Sharing” Is Like AirDrop
AirDrop is one of the most useful features of Apple devices. It makes it an absolute doddle to share files between Macs and iOS devices quickly over local networks.
People have wanted an AirDrop-like function in Windows for ages and “Nearby Sharing” is pretty close. At the time of writing Android and iOS are on the roadmap, but for the time being it only works between Windows PCs.
Once mobile OS support is added, there will be almost perfect parity between macOS and Windows when it comes to AirDrop-like functionality.
The Xbox App Can Replace Quicktime Screen Recorder
Depending on the type of work you do, you may need a screen recorder quite often. Whether trying to show a problem to someone, creating training material or simply creating shareable content, screen recorders are an essential tool for modern digital living.
In MacOS, we have Quicktime Screen Recorder, a simple utility that lets you make a video file from whatever is happening on your screen. Well, it turns out that you can use the Windows 10 Xbox app to do pretty much the same thing.
It has a built-in screen recorder which can be activated using a keyboard shortcut. You first need to activate the Xbox app’s Game Bar by pressing Win+G and giving it permission. From then on, you can start or stop screen recordings simply by pressing Win+Alt+R.
The Windows Taskbar Is Really a Dock Now
For years Windows users were pretty envious of the dock in MacOS. There was a large proliferation of third-party dock apps for earlier versions of Windows, such as RocketDock.
You won’t find any such Windows applications released recently however. That’s because the taskbar in Windows 10 does much of what made the dock so popular to begin with. You can pin all your most frequently used apps to it. Multiple windows stack into single icons and you can preview them just by hovering your cursor.
These days it’s pretty normal to have app launchers such as Steam or Adobe Creative Cloud, so most people only ever need a dozen or so pinned icons on their taskbars.
Cortana Is Like Siri
Is Siri a popular feature of MacOS? We’ll never know how many people actually use Siri as a proportion of MacOS users, but we can say that Siri works incredibly well.
Apple pioneered this conversational interface with the iPhone 4S and it now lives across all Apple devices. Siri is intuitive, accurate and fast. Making many common tasks easier to do.
On Windows 10, we have Cortana as the voice assistant and smart search app. Cortana isn’t quite as polished as Siri, but Microsoft has been steadily improving the service over time. In fact, when it comes to pure brains, Cortana might actually be better overall.
In the early days, users tended to disable Cortana thanks to its clunkiness, but if you haven’t tried using it in a while, it’s definitely worth booting her up again. You may be surprised.
The Best of Both Worlds
Competition is a good thing. A world where only one operating system dominates is one without innovation. When Apple does something laudable with macOS, Windows users benefit and vice versa.
While there will never be an equivalent user experience between the two, people who use both, or just those who show a little envy looking across the fence, can get the best of both worlds with equivalent features, both present and to come.
