The first thing that made me crazy was not being able to minimize all my windows and hit the desktop with a keystroke.  That was a quick google search for the build in ctrl + alt + d  ..  It’s a 3 button move that’s not really natural (all 3 on the same hand) so if I can find a way to change that I’m gonna.

All the normal window control keystrokes are here which is making it much more natural then the last time I attempted to switch.  alt + space brings down a window control menu and all commands are underlined so you can walk your way through whatever you need.  Alt + space then N minimizes to get window out of your way,  Alt + space then X maximizes your window and of course, alt tab gets your moving through your open windows.

All in all, I’m pleasantly surprised thus far.  I’m going to take a spin through the ole windoze box tomorrow and try to remember what else I’m going to miss.  Stay tuned for Part 2.
