You're not imagining this.
The Mac displays graphics at 96dpi, while WinTel displays graphics at 72dpi.
That's why. Great for detail work on graphics and video, but a pain in the
monitor for designing web pages across platforms and for sharing files.
I do not know about saving zooms. I'll be interested to read what someone
else says about that.
Best,
