Other Ways to Customize the User Experience
Nearly every aspect of the user experience is customizable on both the Mac and the PC,
from the colors onscreen to the way the mouse moves.
In Windows, most of these settings can be adjusted from the Control Panel in the
Appearance And Personalization area. Table 6.1 summarizes these settings and tools in
Windows 7, and Table 6.2 provides the same for Mac OS X.
