If not an expert programer I am at least familiar with the basic steps required to program from OS X or Linux, I have no experience on a Windows system however. My work is mainly focussed around security applications.
What makes programing on Windows different?
To be clear I am not looking for a debate, only a list I could then use as a starting place to fill in the gaps of my knowledge.
Merely, one can state that
Windows has its own functions – methods, if you deal with OOP –
which can make possible your program to interact with the underlying
Windows OS.
For example, if you want to create a new process which runs in the security
context of a specific user, you can call the
CreateProcessAsUserfunction.
In general, Windows own functions are richer than the respective Unix
flavors. Besides in Windows you have usually more than one or two ways to
get your jobs done.
