    Default OT - Worst thing about mac's

    how command + tab (alt + tab in window's language) ALWAYS switches to finder instead of an app that you're actually using

    But Exposé kicks Cmd+Tab in the balls big time, anyways (I didn't even know that OS X also has this combination)

    this is very true. I find myself swiping to the top corner on all computers now to reveal all. Yeah I think it's included for the convenience of the converted, very thoughtful but it's pretty useless

    No, it doesn't.

    I have no idea why you'd think it works that way, because it just doesn't.

    Agreed. I have no idea where this is coming from. I missed many things (at first) upon switching from Windows to Mac. However, switching between applications or different windows within the same application was never one of them

    "Command + Tab" pops up a menu that lets you choose which application you want to switch to; Horizontal four finger swipe does the same thing.

    "Command + ~" lets you quickly switch between different windows of the same application (e.g. multiple browser windows, etc.).

    Plus, I find Expose and Spaces to be quite useful too when it comes to switching between applications and just organizing the workflow.

    Always use cmd and tab to swap between applications.

    Never use expose or spaces myself, dunno why

    Worst thing is no drag and drop from itunes to other applications...

    that's a mac fail if you ask me.

    only works dragging and dropping to the finder pretty much. with a pc you can drag from itunes into a deck in traktor.

    Macs ftw still obviously

    do you have an MBP with the all in one buttonless trackpad? If you do, check out the multi touch gestures. They're invaluable.
