And you learned about alt-tab in windows because you read the windows manual? Most keyboard shortcuts beside the ones from the file menu are not really listed explicitly anywhere, of course most people don't know all of them, especially since expose is more commonly used in OS X. But I would have thought most "switcher" would have tried to do a alt-tab in OS X by accident (but cmd key is at alt's place) from old habit and ended up pressing cmd-tab and "discovering it."

I doubt many mac users know the mac equivalent of "ctrl-alt-del".


Also, I like how most of you think people buy apple for hardware (omg wowz you can get 4x better computer for same price at dell). It's all about OS X.

Yes, a $20 000 toyota can accomplish the same task as a $120 000 mercedes (go from point A to B), so why do people buy mercedes?
