Alt + Tab in Windows 7

Whenever you need to switch between the open windows, you need to press the Alt + Tab. This allowed you to switch between open windows. Windows 7 also supports this particular feature but in a little different way. The window that appears when you press Alt + Tab in Windows 7 is like this:

However, Windows 7 also has another way of alternating between windows. To use the alternate way, you would need to press the Windows Key + Tab. When you press both these keys, just like you used to press Alt + Tab, you will get a different way to alternate between windows like shown in the graphic below:

To switch to a specific window, you would need to keep alternating between the windows till your desired window is in front. When it is, then release the key and you would simply have that window as active window. The behavior of the Windows Key + Tab key is same as the Alt + Tab key but the only difference is how the open windows appear on your screen.
