[QUOTE="gilesjuk, post: 367260, member: 29394"] Read my original post :) I stated I was a KDE user not a Windows user. I'm slowly adapting to the OS, I'm not stuck in my ways. However many things Microsoft and others have developed are more usable. Software usability and ergonomics are interests of mine and there's a lot that can be debated in the OS. I find having a taskbar which shows which windows are open to be a great aid to usability. Switching windows by tabbing isn't as nice, requires the keyboard. Maybe I'm just not familiar with the OS properly yet, but I used to use Mac OS classic years ago and found switching applications was easier in that version. They all used to appear in the menu (top right?). I don't want Mac OS to be exactly like Windows, but Apple do make things a little too simplistic, often at the cost of usability. [/QUOTE]
