Applications Switching in Windows Vista

In the previous versions of Windows (XP, 2003, 2000, etc), you press Alt-Tab to switch between applications. One of the frustrations with using the Alt-Tab is that if you have a large number of applications open you have to cycle through each of them one-by-one; you can't simply click to select the application you want to switch to.With Vista, you have two choices:
  • Alt-Tab - You can cycle through all the open applications and click to select the application you want to switch to.
  • Windows-Tab - This will give you a 3-D view of all the open applications. You can also click to select the application to switch to. For this feature, you need to have the Aero Glass enabled.
