[robg adds: If that's all there was to it, it probably wouldn't be hint-worthy. But this new application switcher has some extra tricks hidden up its sleeve. While still holding Command down, Tab to any given application in the list, then hit H. The highlighted application will hide. Hit Q instead, and it will quit (assuming there are no unsaved changes). It was reported in some builds that M also minimized the app, but that seems to have vanished in the final release. Pressing Shift and then Tab (while still holding the Command key, of course) will cycle backwards amongst the open applications.
Also, if you have the mouse in the switcher area (the shaded portion of the screen), simply drag the mouse left and right to scroll amongst apps.
The presence of the switcher (which looks a lot like Lite Switch X from Proteron!) is a boon for those of us who keep the dock hidden -- no longer does it come to the foreground when you use Command-Tab. Only the switcher pops into view.]
