Screenshots as requested!  Just hooked myself up a MacBook Pro.  I've currently got it plugged into my 20"
Here's the first one.  When using a mac the first thing you learn to do is not run anything full-screen.  It's kind of counter-intuitive to the mac interface, though I'm still new as well, so I can't really give more detail than that.
 
You'll notice that I am running Windows in a virtual machine!  Wide screen!  =)
There's this great product called Parallels that allows me to do this.  I bought the Parallels when it was in Beta so I only paid $40 for it, I think now that it's released it goes for $80!  =(
You'll also notice I've got world of warcraft running in the background there too.
Expose is a really fun utility.  With the hit of 1 key I can shrink all my windows down to size to fit on my screen.  Notice I'm watching Prison Break as well:
 
Sorry for the huge images... got a huge screen.  =P
