yes, now wouldn't it be cool if apple gave you the option to click on a button and something like this pops up! (attatched as one of course)

That is too funny nkuvu:
Did anyone say that they like the taskbar more in this thread? If so, I missed it. I don't like the taskbar, love the dock.
That is what started the whole thread. Check out the very first post.
That makes this all worthwhile by itself. Rock on!!
OSX rules. Amen!!

You're a tough crowd.
Another thing I miss from Windows is fast window resizing and the ability to turn live resizing on and off, but I hope that will be fixed in 10.2 as speculated (at least the speed).
Another thing I miss is <Alt>-<Tab> to switch applications--insofar as a single itteration switches to the previous app and a held down <Alt> then <Tab> brings up the switcheroo window (what IS it actually called?) with all running apps in it.
Oh, and another thing (compared to XP which is hateful otherwise) is to be able to switch user spaces without killing apps that are running for that user--not logging out to switch users, just switching users. That's definately cool and would be great in OS X.
Is that on topic enough?
(And I was just asking about where vic lives because of the "Canada, EH!" and I live in Canada, too. Like I said, tough crowd.)
Kent!

yes, fast window resizing is something we all miss and we have complained about since os x came out.
you can use - comand & tab - to switch between apps.
the loggin in and out of users and not quitting apps, is cool, but i wonder how slow/memory hogging it wouold be and since i am the only person using my computer i find it useless. bu that's me.

THIS IS HILARIOUS!
Guess what I do for a living? I design web based (and non-web-based) software to control mechanical systems in buildings--primarily Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning systems. (among other things)
The above IS a typical help desk call for me! And I can accomplish the solution!

oh, and i know Command-Tab works to move between apps and using Shift goes in the other direction but in Windows I can Alt-Tab once then Alt-Tab again and arrive at my original app, even when 10 are open.

vic,
You can't tear it off (I don't think) but ASM duplicates the menubar Application Switcher Menu thing from OS 9. But I don't think you can tear it off.

I know about shift-command-tab (after the first command-tab) but that one extra keystroke and it comes AFTER you do the initial command-tab. It's just not as efficient as a single alt-tab to switch back and forth between two apps.

Mine Too.
It seems that you have to initiate it with the command-tab, but once you are scrolling in the dock comman-shift will scroll backwards through the open apps. At least that is how my system works. I'm running 10.1.3. I can't start scrolling through the dock with just command-shift, it must be initiated first with command-tab.
Thanks.

Recycle Me!
you CAN initiate scrolling with command-shift-tab though. Doing that first will scroll through backwards

I thought you were going to say you worked on a Help Desk.
