Thanks for linking to this, I just picked up a copy. I switched to a MBP retina two months ago, and have made an effort to keep it fairly vanilla and figure out how to do things in OS X... without diving into OSXvsWIN, let's just say I'm super glad to have found this add on. It'd be even better if it updated to mimic Windows 8's taskbar (popup previews of windows, mostly), but I'll take what I can get for now. Easily worth the $20 it normally sells for to me, but I could only pay the $10 sale price. Sold! On one hand, I feel so much more aware of what's currently running on my computer, but on the other hand, I feel a bit like the kid I mocked in the 2000s who would move his Windows task bar to the top of his screen because he missed using his Mac.

You might also be interested in Witch [0] which lets you switch between windows of different apps as opposed to only switching between single apps or between windows of a single app. [0]http://manytricks.com/witch/ http://manytricks.com/witch/

  I love Witch, but after upgrading to Mavericks I found that it was weirdly sluggish and tended to overshoot what I was aiming at. It also doesn't function with a lot of fullscreen apps (primarily games) and iBooks does ridiculous stuff with its windows that no app switcher seems to know how to work around. All that said, I'm still glad I bought it and I end up switching back and forth to the default app switcher because it's so much better in every way but those bugs. I'm sure the iBooks thing will get resolved and I think the sluggishness thing is eventually going to get cleared up in patch.

    For what it's worth, I haven't had that slowdown experience neither on Mavericks nor on Yosemite. Given I for example don't use full screen at all.

Hey leviathant, window previews are being worked on - expect them in an update to uBar:) And don't feel bad - if NeXT had had a taskbar, we would all have been using a taskbar for the last 14 years!
