I don't understand Apple not realizing the importance of the "always on top" feature, especially when one window (like a video tutorial) absolutely needs to be on top of all the others in a work situation. This is a feature I use a lot in linux, it's difficult to adjust in OS-X by not having it. Unfortunately Afloat does not work with Snow Leopard (yet?), hopefully that will be fixed soon.
