Alright, I used to be able to use Alt-Tab in Windows while playing WoW. I know in OS X it is Cmd-Tab, but it doesn't work while in WoW. Does it only work for windowed stuff? Is there any other way to bring up the desktop while in a game? TIA!

Try hitting Ctrl-'M' to minimize the window, then command-tab will work. Works in WC3 anyways.
