What's the difference between "log-in" and "log-on"?

look at it this way, to "log on" is like getting on the highway to "go" somewhere. to "log in" is like turning into a parking lot to do something at a destination.

that's my take anyway!

no difference.

I think Windows uses the term log on while all the websites use log in.

that has to do with logging IN the site and logging ONTO a running OS.

IMHO

well...generally nothing. But are you talking about a specific program?

nothing they mean the same thing
