Vista - Page Versus Window

The way I see it, if I give my main Application a root type of <Page> rather
than <Window>, the only difference is that I get a browser-like navigation
bar at the top. Is this truly the only difference?

From what I can tell yes.

Fidget,
The reason you are seeing a navigation chrome on top is because when
you point your Application's Startup Uri property to a <Page> as the
root element, the Application automatically creates a NavigationWindow
object for you and then navigate your Xaml page. The Navigation Chrome
belongs to the NavigationWindow object, which has some key differences
with Window object, including Navigation, Journaling and default
NavigationUI.

I've added some links to SDK documentations describing these objects in
more depth. Please feel free to post follow up question if you still
have confusions.
