How Much Difference?

[Scooter]

Ok, heres something that has had me scratching my noggin' for about 5 minutes....

How much difference is there between the way Mac browsers (Safari, Mozilla, Opera etc) display simple web pages* compared to Microsoft/Windows browsers (I.E, Mozilla, Netscape etc)?

*(HTML, tables, Flash movies and JPEG images, not including "advanced" coding such as ASP, JAVA etc)

I only wonder this since I don't think there is a great deal of difference anymore, given overall comparison. And yes, I am taking into concideration that I.E browsers and Netscape/Mozilla browers sometimes do interpret information differently.

Anyone care to comment, post thoughts and what-not?

Browsers like Firefox and Mozilla that are based on the Gecko rendering engine will render and display pages identically on Windows and Mac (apart from differences in font-smoothing and widgets/buttons, which are controlled by the operating system itself).

Pretty much what NetRyder said

If you want a really basic comparison I did a while ago (just a bunch of screenshots), then take a look here: http://speedyb.co.uk/img/galleries/Web-Site Renders/?show=all

Oh, the irony kills me! For no reason in particular, I was just looking that that before I navigated to here

No ClearType?

Nah, uses up unnecessary system resources, looks nasty too
