At least once a day, OS X Freezes when I Command-Tab.
The application switcher comes up, the selection box is over an application I can move the mouse but that is it. I have to restart every time this happens. I will pay mucho to get this working.
*Update*
I found this person with the same problem:

*Update*
I already upgraded to 10.4.7
*Update*
I already tried to repair file permissions
*Update*
This happened on my PowerBook, and now it is happening on a "fresh" install on my new MacBook. Here is what I am usually running:
* TextMate
* FireFox (Have a hunch this is it for some reason)
* X-Chat
* Terminal
* Mail
* Adium
* SSH Keychain
* iTunes

Rich,
I am having the exact same problem. I've found two possible solution (I haven't tried either yet, but I thought you might want to know about them):
1. Use a different program to switch between applications. This appears to work for some people (an example: http://www.proteron.com/liteswitchx/)
2. Turn off the NAP setting (see this extremely lengthy entry: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2959894&).
Apple has some explaining to do, IMHO.
It is looking more an more like this (LiteSwitchX) worked. Remind me in a few weeks and I will pay you if I have not had any crashes.
You got it - nice work
