Yes, Macs certainly are easier to use. I have to press the "Print Screen" key to do that. Okay, well maybe it is labeled "PrtSc", but pressing that saves an image file (PNG) to the desktop. Oh, and pressing Alt-PrtSc takes a screenshot of only the active window, instead of the entire screen.

But I'm confused, does PrintScreen take a screenshot of the whole desktop, or does it let you choose just a small part of the screen (which is what command-shift-4 does for us)?

PrtSc = entire desktop, Alt+PrtSc = current window. To take a screenshot of just a particular region of the screen, it's the 'super key' (windows logo on some keyboards, option key on a Mac keyboard) + click and drag with the mouse.
