In various versions of Windows you can press the Alt + Tab keys to cycle through your open programs.  By keeping the Alt key pressed town you can jump from program to program by pressing the Tab key until the program you want is displayed.

Starting with Vista, Microsoft added a very slick new way to display your open programs called Aero Flip 3D.  It also displays your open programs, but displays them in a 3D (well, as close as you can get to 3D without wearing those silly glasses) view.  You can see your open programs and use your mouse wheel or Tab key to cycle through the windows.

To use the Aero Flip 3D view press the Windows Key (near the bottom left of your keyboard) and Tab key.

It’s that easy!  Next time you are flipping between open programs try using the Windows Key + Tab and enjoy the view.

The Aero Flip 3D does require a bit more hardware oomph from your system in order to display the 3D view.  Here are the minimum requirements to use Aero:

Minimum Hardware Requirements for running Windows 7 Aero:

1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

1 GB of RAM

128 MB graphics card
