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
