Isn’t it the same with Apple and OS X or is it just me ;-)

That I can just pay for and download online. I agree MSDN is awesome, from what I hear. I've never been anywhere that had it, but it sure sounds nice.

Just in case you haven't seen it already: The latest build fixed this. I'm running build 3120 and Command-Tab'ing works now - with an annoying catch though. You need to disable "access for assistive devices" in the Universal Access preferences pane, which effectively kills support for apps like Textpander and Witch. There's already a request have this fixed, so hopefully we can have our cake and eat it too in the final relase. > The only problem I have with this setup is that Command-Tab doesn’t invoke the OS X app switcher, but rather, Command acts as the Windows key.

I'm going to give it a try again now, thanks a bunch for the tip. I had noticed, but I didn’t know of the catch, so things had deteriorated so bad that I had dropped using coherence mode entirely.
