Actually, I find that one of the most annoying Macintosh traits.  Everything
wants to use the whole damn screen.  In MS windows I can be programming in one
window while looking at reference docs in another, while glancing over at
an ASCII table in another, while looking at the number that has just popped up
in the calculator.  I don't have to click in the upper right corner to change 
apps.

IMHO, multifinder doesn't come close to MS windows when it comes to running
multiple apps.  Maybe if you have a 19 inch screen it's a bit better, but
not even God can afford one of those.  (Hell, even a 16 inch Mac monitor is
out of his price range. And color?  You might as well forget it.)
