Some time ago we featured an interview with an... official Mac OS X switcher. A year later, we found another Apple switcher, James Dorn ("noviteo" for his friends) and we ask him a few details upon the switch. Especially with the recent price cuts on Apple hardware and the Mac OS X Panther release last week, being a switcher becomes "cool" all over again.

Hmm, you're right. OS/2 had tabs about 1990, and apparently, some Amiga apps had them in 1985. They probably go back even farther. I think what I'm remembering is that Windows was the first one to use tabs extensively (for prefs panels and whatnot) and when Apple put tabs into MacOS, it was because of a direct influence from Windows.
As for the Dock, its nice because it preserves a nice spatial relationship between an application window's and its icon in the dock. If you don't really care for classic MacOS's whole spatial thing, then you probably won't care for the Dock either.
