Apple has developed Sherlock which allows the user to search the Internet using plain English terms, with selected search engines simultaneously. Sherlock can also search the contents of files on your hard disk. You don't even have to remember the name of the file, just a few words that you know will be in it. The Macintosh keeps track of the source of files downloaded from the Internet. Every Macintosh file down-loaded retains its URL in the Get Info box, making it easy to catalogue or for the user to return to the file's source for more information or files.
Macs have better colour management software .
ColorSync3 is used on Macs and Windows' colour management software is called ICM which copied ColorSync. The majority of desktop publishing is still done on Macs because output colours are more reliable and predictable. ColorSync takes account of deviations in scanners and monitors as well as the output to different media. It lets users calibrate their monitors so that the colours of a displayed image corresponds very closely to the original. The application menu automatically detaches from the menu bar, turns into a pallette which can be positioned anywhere on the screen, vertical or horizontal, large or small icons.
