Tips by Tony

If you’ve switched from a Windows computer to the Mac, you may be confused or frustrated by the little green (+) button in the upper right corner of every application window. It’s called the zoom button, and it is not the same as the maximize button in MS Windows. Once you understand what the zoom button does and how it works, your confusion and frustration should come to an end.

Ant at MacYourself.com wrote an excellent article explaining exactly what the zoom button is and how it works. I highly recommend it for all Mac switchers: Why doesn’t Mac OS X’s green Zoom button maximize windows?
