I'm a recent switcher and I use my Apple 15.2" Powerbook Rev E mostly for school work, I am a fulltime Graduate student.

I added wireless to my home MS XP network and love surfing from my sofa.

But 1 thing bugs me the most about OSX, the way windows operate on the screen. They are allowed to move wherever and know no boundary, especailly when I open a new window in Firefox and MS Word. How can I make new windows open the same way everytime? and not go off the screen?
In addition when opening a new MS Word document the top of the window is hidden under the toolbars, the more that are open, the further the new document sinks under them. Why would you want a document to be able to slip under a toolbar?
I know I'm spolied by the way MS Windows restricts open windows from sliding off the screen.
Any way to tame these crazy new windows?
