I should also point out, for the non-Windows initiated, that in MS Windows there is no such thing as having an application open with no window as there is in Mac-land. So if on the Mac you have a situation where you are browsing the web with Netscape, and you minimize your browsing window, you should be able to switch back to Netscape and have the window reopen to its last visible state. However if you have IE open, but all your windows closed (a concept that doesn't exist in MS Windows) you're stuck. Also, in MS Windows, you have a situation where I can have 15 Netscape windows open, and in Alt-Tab I get 15 entries, allowing me to choose which particular Netscape window I switch to, or switch back and forth between two Netscape windows, or whatever. Not all applications work this way, but many do. However, to the best of my recollection, this concept doesn't exist on the Mac. So even if you can switch to Netscape, it would have to restore all the windows to their last visible state, and then you would have to figure out which one you wanted. If my recollection about how this works is correct (its been quite a while since I used a Mac seriously, the last one I owned was an SE/30) then to me it vastly reduces the usefulness of the whole task-switching thing there.
