Top Tip:

You know that by pressing the Alt + Tab keys you can switch between the various programs and applications running on your PC but did you know that there’s a simple way to make the Application Switcher a lot more useful, and interesting to look at? Well there is, and it’s called Taskswitch, a free little add-on from Microsoft; in addition to the normal icon view it also generates a preview or thumbnail of the applications you are switching between. It’s part of the Powertoys suite (which includes the most excellent Tweak UI).

Just click HERE to download.

This is fantastic! I switch applications a lot more often now just to try out this great application.

Thanks Markus...!

Typical - there are lots of compatibility issues with Vista.

I actually bought a laptop just before Vista was released - it came loaded with XP but came with Vista and the new Office 2007 on DVD. I still haven't "upgraded" to Vista for exactly this sort of reason.

I'm happy with XP thanks...

How do you find Vista? Is it worth the effort of installing and learning the new ways of working?
