Differences between unix and windows files

Question

Am I correct in assuming that the only difference between "windows files" and "unix files" is the linebreak?

We have a system that has been moved

Answer 1

This is only a difference in text files, where UNIX uses a single Line Feed (LF) to signify a new line, Windows uses a Carriage Return/Line Feed (CRLF) and Mac uses just a CR.

Binary files there should be no difference (i.e. a JPEG on a windows machine will be byte for byte the same as the same JPEG on a unix box.)
