Is there a way to see installed apps in a more conventional (to a Mac user!) way, like a folder with a load of app icons, or a list, or anything other than that odious semi-transparent flip out thing that's difficult to see (cos there's loads of crap showing through it), can't be resized and keeps disappearing when I click something..?
