TaskSwitchXP - Alt-Tab Replacement For XP
TaskSwitchXP is an advanced task management utility that picks up where the standard Windows Alt+Tab switcher leaves off. It provides the same functionality, and adds visual styles to the dialog and also enhances it by displaying thumbnail preview of the application that will be switched to.

TaskSwitchXP allows you to minimize windows to the system tray and take many other actions on tasks. You can easily minimize, maximize, restore, close a window or even kill the process. All this can now be done from the Alt-Tab switching window on the fly without having to run Windows Task Manager.
The latest version 2.0.11 was released on August 8, 2006 (change log).

VistaSwitcher is a reincarnation of TaskSwitchXP, the key new features include:
- Outstanding UI, semi-transparent backgrounds and antialiased fonts
- Live window and desktop previews under Windows Vista and 7
- Despite the name, it works on Windows XP too ;))
User Interface
TaskSwitchXP supports a few built-in interface schemes. It dynamically adapts to the selected Windows XP theme, provides customizable font and color settings for each user in the system. You can also choose preview and list styles, appearance effects, opacity of the switcher window and more. You can make your everyday environment to look whichever you want!
