i think mac's show the screen at 96dpi - whereas pc's show at 72dpi.

the os will not affect this. screen resolution, as in pixels per inch is defined by the monitor specs and user setting. my macbook pro 15" screen runs at 1440x900, so assuming the screen measures 13.5 inches wide, that calculates to about 100 dpi.
if i restart the computer in windows, the dpi value will be the same - the screen will still run at 1440x900 and the screen itself will still measure 13.5 or so inches wide.
different screens will have different "real" resolutions, which is why a high resolution on a small screen makes everything on screen look small.
