The dock is the equivalent of the combination of the taskbar and start menu. It shows both runnig apps and apps you've added there.

I think these are great questions too.  I'd like to add one also:
What's the difference between the desktop and dock?
I know what the dock is on iDevices, but what is its function on the Mac?

Just wanted to say, good questions. I am in the same position as yourself, in 
trying to transition from a Windows environment to Mac. I agree with you, that 
it is not intuitive. Looking forward to someone responding, in basic terms, to 
your questions.

Hi All, I have been coming to terms with a Mac for over 6 weeks now on a daily 
basis and a little before that from time to time.  However there are some 
concepts I really cannot come to work out which by now should be fairly obvious 
to me.  Hope someone can clarify these for me.

At this point I would like to say I have good experience of Windows and it is 
because of this I am finding some of these Mac concepts difficult rather than 
them being intuitive.

Here goes then,

1. I think as a rule of thumb quic nav is mainly used for navagating the web 
but not otherwise.  Is this correct?
2. While I know that single key navagation can be used with the tab key, I 
cannot work out when I need to tab and when I need to vo right arrow.
3. Interacting and uninteracting, I just don't know when and when not to do 
this.  When someone has guided me they have said to interact and now 
uninteract, left to my own devices I cannot make a decision as to when to 
interact and when not to.

Sorry if these are silly questions but I think once I have clarification on 
these I will have moved forward quite a pace with my Mac.
