Ejecting a disk:
It may seem dangerous, and is completely unintuitive, but to eject a disk from the floppy drive on a Mac (or anything, such as a CD-ROM), drag its icon on the desktop to the wastebasket ("Trash Can"). You can also highlight its icon on the desktop, and press Apple+Y (for "Put Away"). Mac OS X does include an eject option in the menu, now, for much easier ejecting.

Fortunately, Windows makes the ejecting of a disk much more user-friendly. Simply press the button next to the disk drive on your CPU, and out it comes. Make sure you do not currently have any files from the disk or CD in use before ejecting.

Frozen program?
On the Mac, if a program is frozen and will not respond, press Apple+Option+Esc for the "Force Quit" option. In OS X, "Force Quit" is located in the Finder menu. Also in OS X, if a program does freeze, you can move into Finder or another application without crashing the entire computer. The "Force Quit" option in OS X is set up similar to the Task Manager in the PC. You should become familiar with the Task Manager brought up via Ctrl+Alt+Delete. You can close individual programs (listing in a scrolling window), or completely reboot.

Shutting Down:
To shut down a Mac, select the "Special" menu in Finder, and select "Shut Down" (in OS X, this is located in the Finder menu). In Windows, this is done by clicking "Shut Down" from the Start menu, and selecting your option (Sleep, Restart, Shut Down, etc.).
