Key combination Cmd+Tab doesnt cycle windows, only Apps
Changed problem description.
Improve printer settings usability
The printer setup options and utilities are an absolute disaster.
Coming from a windows environment, where i never had to use a search to get anything setup, setting up a network printer on my Mac was an absolute mess. And still, it occasionally loses the ability to print, meanwhile my 2 Windows desktops and a Ubuntu box required zero setup by me.
Built-in Zip file viewer
I agree with this one. There are instances when you only need a file or two from a ZIP file, so normally on windows, i go into the zip file, look at it like a directory, and get the one file i need, without having to extract the whole thing, get the file i need, then delete the rest.
This is a severe oversight by Apple.

@vandlism: Im well aware of Expose. The idea is for instantenous switching between two windows, regardless of the application, when work requires you to move between the apps frequently. Expose, while it looks nice and has its uses, is not a speed - oriented way of navigating through multiple windows like Alt-Tab is in Windows.
@abitgone: That does it. Thanks. Unfortunately it costs money. This is something that should be included.
@rickwebb: Like doubleforte said, jumping from windows of two different apps would require i Cmd+Tab from one app to the intended app, then Cmd+` to get to the intended window. It would work, but would require training yourself the steps involved to get you from one apps window to another apps window, as well as remembering the keystrokes required to get you to that particular window, and can quickly be rectified with the introduction of a new keystroke that cycles through all windows. Thats not a very user-friendly way of navigating.
@polycat33: While you wouldnt want to, some might, which is why i introduced this here. I wouldnt want to eliminate the existing Cmd+Tab system, but only augment it with another keystroke that gives you a more traditional window switching.
But my point still stands
