VistaSwitcher

[JosephLeo]

Hey, I found a great Alt + Tab alternative to the default one installed in Vista via LifeHacker.

It's called Vista Switcher

Also, just because it's called Vista Switcher doesn't mean it's a Vista exclusive. It works on Windows XP, Vista and 7 and comes in 32-Bit and 64-Bit flavors. Most important of all is that it's free for any use- commercial, enterprise, personal anything!

It's a VERY fantastic alternative to the default ALT+TAB viewer since it only shows one very nice big window at a time. I didn't test it on Aero mode yet though.

What about perfomance wise ?

I once tried somethin' similar to this years ago on my XP machine; and it just slowed it down considerably.

Just tried it. Its a 250kb install file. Takes up no more computer resources than the normal alt+tab, and looks 10x better.

Nah, credit really goes to whoever found it on LifeHacker- those guys are great.

But yeah, I love the fact that it's footprint is invisible plus the fact that it works a little faster than the default.

Nice find, thanks! Just tried it and it works very well.
