Travis, 1. I agree Safari and VO have always worked fine when opening and switching between windows. I guess I use tabs as I used to be able to see, and I hated clutter and too many windows open. Tabs are so neat and clutter free in my mind's eye too. i am just knit picking I guess, but I think it is an oversight as the tabs themselves have the title of the web page written on them and when you switch to a new tab the title appears on the window title bar too. So for VO not to pick up on this is lazy programming in my opinion.
I use Windows a lot, so guess I get used to some of the bells and whistles you become used to with JAWS. 2. I think Gordon's point was that it was quicker and more accessible being able to navigate a print services window instead of having to navigate around a web interface via Safari. 3. I also agree with you on the conversations / thread matter. Apple have tried to make their threads look more like conversations that appear in the iPhone and the forth coming iMessage facility, so I guess they are trying to bundle everything up.
