ev0| Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 It's beta 1 man. Not even half the stuff is in yet, and there's stuff in now that won't make it to beta 2. Welcome to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Max Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I just installed Vista, and I found out the neat Alt-Tab effect there was in 4071 is gone ! Now it just shows the regular little window like XP. I hope it'll be in the next builds ... Anyone know if it will ? Attached a screen ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hankyone Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 beta2 will have about 90% of all the features implemented so expect that in beta 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy1 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 expect that in beta 2!586327441[/snapback] Not quite. More like, if it appears in Beta 2, then expect that in RTM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fro0ty Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 alt-tab is one of the most useful things in XP, it makes so many peoples lifes sooo much easier :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+virtorio MVC Posted August 4, 2005 MVC Share Posted August 4, 2005 Looks pretty good, only I wonder if it's as useful in practice as what it is visually impressive. Looks like lots of possibility for smaller windows being hidden by larger ones, and if that's the case there is no easy to tell how many TAB presses you will need to get to it. But I'm sure they'll come up with something good, they'll have to if they want to compete with the usefulness of Expose (on MacOS X). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Behelit Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 OT - I'd argue that ALT-F4 is used more than alt-tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_I am Reptar Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Hard to understand why somebody would "tattle" on another person for a simple little statement like that.Wasn't even any foul language involved or anything. Folks is too over-sensitive perhaps. 586328247[/snapback] I know eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Kirklander Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 As long as I can turn this uber-graphical version of ALT-TAB off and get back to a normal productive feature without all the GUI nonsense, I'll be fine with it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel Blue01 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Alt-tab has remained basically the same since Win 3.1. I'm glad they were improving it. Maybe in RTM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hais Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 doesnt mean it needs to be changed. im sure that its possible to have a an option- especially on slower machines. but i wouldnt say no to a 3d alt-tab, providing its just as quick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
