    I looked all over for an answer to this question and could not find one. Probably there is some easy thing I am missing. In Windows Explorer at the bottom you could click and see what web pages you had open. Is there some similar feature in Safari? So far I can't find it.

    not sure I follow...

    you mean click in the taskbar and it would pop up showing all IE windows like it shows all windows for anything if you have them grouped?

    You can right click on Safari in the Dock and see all windows open. It only shows windows though, not websites, so if you have 5 tabs in 1 window, it will still only show the 1 window. Expose only shows by window as well. I'm not sure there is any way to make it show a quick view of every tab from every window you have open. Seems to be the same in Chrome and Firefox.

    Clicking in the task bar did not seem to do anything (I have Snow Leopard), but right clicking on Safari did. Thanks!

    I was referring to the Windows taskbar... the thing on the Mac is called a Dock. Right click in the app on the dock will give a pop up showing open windows (and other options). If you click and hold on the icon in the dock, it will use Expose to show you all the open windows, and you can click the one you want.
