Alt-tab rocks. However, vista's new alternative version (and keystokes) may interest a lot of people. See your tasks and windows in 3d and switch between them.

I love alt-tab, and the new vista alt-tab window changer switchie thing (does it have a real name) shows a tiny screenshot for each application. It's very pretty.

Even better is vista's alternative way to view your open windows. Flip-3d.

Hit winkey + tab

Winkey + tab. Easy and cool. When you are holding winkey+tab to open the flip-3d window, you can use your mouse to select the window you want to come to the front. You can also use your scroll button on your mouse to cycle through the open windows.

Yes, flip-3d is a poor name. Quit whining.
