I don't know how many of you know this, but to do a quick shortcut to switch between windows instead of using the button on the dock, try the Windows button on your keyboard and tab, pretty cool new way to switch back and forth! Oh and keep pressing tab while holding the windows key, it'll cycle through your programs that are already open. Enjoy!

I've never used Vista, but didn't alt+tab do this since Windows 95?

Only if aero is enabled. If your interface is different (mine is if I have my tv tuner operational) it won't work like that.

Really? No offense but I figured you'd know what that meant if you knew what the windows key + tab meant.

Oohhhh it's basically the 3d interface that that OSX has....to be honest it's not very useful but nice looking.

i have that on my quicklaunch buttons. i didn't know the windows key+tab shortcut.

the filepath on the quicklaunch is:
C:\Users\Tyler\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

dunno if that helps. in my opinion, the quicklaunch button is a tad better because it toggles to that view. instead of having to hold windows+tab.

but i do agree with you. I like it. however i never fucking use it.

OSX Leopard has a cool similar feature with Spaces, where I can hit Ctr plus the arrow keys to move back and forth between desktops. It's old hat for folks who have been using Linux, but it's SO useful. And if you hit F8 it brings up this view, where you can swap Spaces or move open applications from one Space to another. I love it...
