I never pay much attention to those clear, oblong-shaped buttons in the upper-right hand corner in certain applications that show/hide menu bars and what-not. They usually don't serve much use to me.
I noticed that Finder windows have them, though. On a whim, I decided to press it. WHOA! Aqua Finder windows! OS 9 style! No more duplicate windows that show the same contents! Let me explain: under the brushed metal finder, I could have three windows open that all show the contents of my "Documents" folder. If I press the little clear button to switch to "Aqua Finder" and try to open multiple instances of my Documents folder, it reverts back to an OS 9-style behavior and simply brings the original instance of the Documents folder to the front!
Certain features, like snap to grid and showing usable disk space and the like are gone, but the OS 9 functionality of the Finder is back!
