On the other hand I would perhaps prefer it in a node on its own right after "Intro", something like "Emacs and the platform GUI". This could list all the subtle differences.

If we were to have a node about this, it certainly should not come so
early.  It is a terrible annoyance for a beginner to read caveats about
features he doesn't even know about yet, on the way to starting to learn
something actually interesting.

However, I would be glad to see a list of the specific points you think
would be useful to mention in such a node.


Currently there are two nodes "Mac OS" and "Microsoft Windows" just a bit below Intro. Maybe there should be instead a node "Emacs and the platform OS"? I think "Emacs and the platform GUI" is important enough to be a node inside this.

The two other nodes (Mac and w32) could come under this too IMO. Something like this:

  Intro
  Glossary
  Antinews
  Emacs and the Platform OS
    Emacs and the Platform GUI
    Other Issues on Mac OS
    Other Issuses on MS Windows
