I'll admit I was a little astounded at what actually worked on the Mac side. I've a machine with both platforms, as 1) I work in Windows CE, which Xcode oddly enough fails to develop for, 2) there are still some things that tend to work better on Windows (Remote Desktop being one such), and 3) my colleagues use Office, and I don't trust documents to make a round trip from Office to Pages to Office again and keep all of their schmancy formatting intact. Oh--and 4) my networked three-tuner CableCard device doesn't let me watch encrypted TV (ie. HBO and such) on the Mac. Having said that, I've seen some "Web 2.0" sites (God I hate that term) that actually seem to work better with Safari 6, Mountain Lion and VoiceOver than they do on Windows.
