This is not related to the operating system, but to the default keyboard layout. A Windows keyboard layout can be as comprehensive as a Mac OS X one. BTW, the default keyboard layouts on modern Linux systems are much more comprehensive than their equivalents on OS X, because only on the X Window System you have all three options: modifier keys, dead keys, compose sequences. Windows and OS X have only modifier keys and dead keys.
