"Apple this year launched MacOS 26 Tahoe, with some of the most compelling visual UI designs from the company to date, more cross-device compatibility, and Apple Intelligence features that greatly improve productivity. However, not all of the features were entirely new; in fact, a handful of them had already been available in Windows (some for many years)."
"Cesar Cadenas/ZDNET One thing MacOS could learn from Windows is its window management. Apple introduced native enhancements to window snapping relatively recently, with MacOS Sequoia last year getting a comprehensive set of window arrangement options, and the iPad just now getting it in iPadOS 26. If you like to have Slack, for example, in a separate window tile next to your browser, you can do this in MacOS by clicking and dragging the window to a different part of the screen to snap it into position. There are a handful of other ways to do this, including simply assigning the position from the Window dropdown menu in the app itself.

Simply dragging a window to the top of the screen activates the grid preview, allowing you to choose from a variety of positions, which has been the case for many years now."
macOS 26 Tahoe introduces a refined Liquid Glass visual theme, increased cross-device compatibility, and Apple Intelligence features designed to boost productivity. Several interface and productivity features included in macOS 26 previously existed in Windows, reflecting longer-standing Windows implementations of certain workflows. Native window snapping and arrangement only recently arrived in macOS via Sequoia and iPadOS 26, while Windows has offered grid previews and flexible tiling for many years. Apple added Game Mode in macOS Sonoma and introduced a new Games app across platforms, consolidating gaming features into a unified hub.
