Well, in Windows unless you have 'view hidden files' checked and 'don't let me see my main drive or C:\Windows folder' unchecked, you can't see the hidden 'trash' folders, the whole Windows folder, numerous folders all over the computer holding a huge amount of stuff (MS loves to hide important things in hidden folders...), etc, etc. That was one of the first things I changed after getting my new computer... since MacOS doesn't want you to actually get into the system (file system or whatever) and just wants you to stay at a higher level, Apple making it even harder than MS does is something I would have expected. Apple doesn't really want you to actually know what you're computer is doing or what's on it. MS doesn't either, since they sometimes like to copy Apple (and vice versa -- Apple's greatest dream, I'm sure, would be to be Microsoft), but they don't go quite as far with it...

(*insert usual 'I can't stand MacOS' stuff here*)
