This is how I used to explain it: Microsoft designed windows using the concept that the operating system (and apps) are smarter than the user.
Unix used the opposite philosophy: you are smarter than the operating system.
Although I’m repeating part of another post, everything is a file is such an amazing concept that once you get it, every other way seems stupid.
