That's a bit pot calling the kettle black though - back when I was using 
Macs, which admittedly was quite a long time ago, everything ran full 
screen all the time and you were forever flipping back and forth between 
applications. All long after Windows had given you the ability to have 
multiple things open alongside each other.

Hell, even Windows 1 let you do that - it just could overlap the windows 
at all ;-)
