>>>2) Not able to jump strata to the app or document you are working on

If you want to switch between applications, use the ALT+GRAVE (Alt+`) keyboard shortcut. This cycles between windows of the same application. It is one of the AWESOMEST shortcuts ever invented.

I cannot stand those dang thumbnail popups that occur on Windows 7. I do not think this will be an improvement to the situation, especially considering the ease with which they can unintentionally be triggered due to the Launcher being on the left edge of the screen (and not the bottom of the screen like Windows 7).

A bug report already exists for this. So far no movement on it, so have to wait and see if it gets addressed.
