Asked whether Apple is now mooting a move to x86 chips, Jobs noted that that couldn't happen until the vast majority of its users and - more importantly - its developers have migrated to the Unix-based Mac OS X. That won't have happened until the end of this year, he added.
"Then we'll have options," said Jobs.
...and out come the alternate desktop management tools. I can see how this would be useful for laptop users who need to have a lot of windows and apps open, but in different combinations. It might also be useful for repetitive tasks between different apps and folders.
I'm also a big fan of FruitMenu, a "haxie" (stupid name) from unsanity, the same folks who bring you the beloved Silk (1.1 available. Got get it.) FruitMenu lets you take greater control over your Apple menu, and has a keyboard program switcher, too.
Even if you would never use this stuff, it's cool to see how flexible OS X can be. With very little effort, you can modify the OS to work how you want it to work (I know, I know, spring-loaded folders are coming in Jaguar; don't get yer undies in a twist...)
