    Finally got the chance to open my macbook pro and i must say its an amazing machine.

    i think with my last mac (same model) when i pushed the F9 key it went into all window mode. but now i have to press FN + F9 in order to get that. does anyone know how to make it so i only have to press the F9 key to get the all window view????

    or if you want to make it even easier, go to system preferences, and find the settings for Expose, you can set any hot key for that function, or set a corner of the screen to do the same thing.
