Hey All, as always another beginner question about using my Mac. I've noticed on some videos and screenshots that 'cube effect' for changing between windows. I'm guessing its the Mac alternative to ALT+TAB in Windows.
How is it done? And what is it really?
Thanks,
G

that's for fast user switching. if you have it enabled in your system pref's it lets you switch between user accounts fast.

I always liked macs. They just piss me off when I get to use them.
I ordered a macbook, it's gonna be fun.

That's right, but in the next version of Mac OS X which will be also called "The Apple Store" there will be more effects like window flipping and page turning and dialgog box blurring...

i don't need any of those effects. i just want my mac to run nice and smooth.
i need to buy a macbook pro very soon. when is gen2 coming!?

There's also a program called Desktop Manager which lets you have multiple desktops you can move between

The cube effect is one of the transitions you can choose from
