I guess it's up to personal preferences, but I find it much easier to find settings in OS X than what it was in Windows back in the day. System settings are in System Preferences, and you can even search them with the Spotlight if you're not sure where to go. Of course, Control Panel is somewhat similar to System Preferences, or at least it was. I think it's been changed but I don't have any experience of the new system so I can't comment on that. In OS X, all well-behaving software have their settings in the application menu or, as I prefer, you can access the settings via Command+',' shortcut. In Windows world, different applications have their settings in different places, mostly under Tools-menu, but I've seen a fair share of apps that do things differently. It's not a fault of Microsoft per se, but they could be more stringent in enforcing proper UI guidelines.
