Cmd Tab switches Applications
Cmd ~ switches Windows within an application
Also see Spaces and Expose.

What have you heard about Apple modifying the multi-touch trackpad? There are already a variety of 3rd party tools for altering it's behavior.

command+` (the one above tab) switches between windows of different apps, but won't bring up a window like command+tab or alt+tab on windows.

That's because Windows does it wrong, treating every window as a separate application.

If the built-in Apple method doesn't completely suit your preferences, you may want to have a look at Witch. In addition to its many other features, it has a customizable window switcher which gives a display of all open windows.

Expose for the win, that is what I use and I assign it to a mouse button. I wish that I could assign it to a mouse gesture, but maybe down the road we will see that?
