Me, too. In fact, I wrote my Why Windows Mobile Needs A Stylus editorial for just that reason.

You lost me on that one. WM 6.1 has a Task switcher. I mapped it to the touch-and-hold function of my Omnia's camera button. My Omnia also includes a mini-task manager that you activate with a swipe that's sort of an Alt+Tab system that brings up a small window with icons of the running programs (but I think that's a Samsung feature, not standard in WM).
