Since it's weekend, which usually equates to no news, we figured we'd follow in Engadget's footsteps by asking you, our dear and loving readers, what you would change about Apple's current Mac Pro. Engadget readers already had a few things to say - this is the internet after all. And since this is OSNews, we add a question of our own: what would you change about Mac OS X?

The need to install a third party programs so you can tab between different windows of the same program is a horrible hack on the system.
Other pet peeve for me is that if you have multiple windows of the same program all of them are visible if one is. There is all or nothing here.
On the same topic when you switch between different Desktops most often than not your open Finder windows is in focus.
A general nitpicking that that includes both Mac OS X, Windows and Linux(Gnome, KDE) is that application steals focus. Simple demonstration: if I start a program which I know takes a long time to startup (say Photoshop / Eclipse) I switch to my programming editor and continues working and as I type along in the editor the newly started program comes up and steals the focus. This can get awkward if you just were about to press the delete button which now does something entirely unintended.
ofcourse KDE actually has focus stealing prevention which can be configured nicely....
