Have you seen this one?

Crossing Platforms : A Macintosh/Windows Phrasebook
by Adam C. Engst, David Pogue

"It's organized like a translating dictionary, with two distinct
sections: one for translating "Macintosh" into "Windows," the other
for going the opposite way. Someone who is familiar with Windows and
wants to know the equivalent of booting into Safe Mode can look up
that term in the Windows-to-Mac section and read all about holding
down the Shift key to boot Mac OS without extensions. A Mac user can
look up Finder in the Mac-to-Windows section and learn how to use the
functionally equivalent Windows Explorer"
