Ive seen some screenshots of vista and some vids as well and when they press alt+tab they get a really nice overview of what windows are open that show in the center of the screen and they update in reall time (http://www.activewin.com/screenshots/vista/53081/1.JPG) but all i got is almost the same as it was in xp just a box in the middle of the screen:

Anyone know why this is?

Thanks

Do you have Aero, or are you running the classic view?

Ive got Areo on at the moment with all the bells and wistles going to like the glass effects and so on..

Ok, good. What you are seeing is Windows Flip, which is different from Windows Flip 3D. You can access Flip 3D by using the Windows Key + TAB keyboard combination instead of ALT + TAB. Then you can use your mouse wheel or left and right arrow keys to scroll through them.

the windows key + tab just scrolls though the items on the task bar.... the same as it dose in XP...

That is a weird looking feature. Seems, on the surface, to be more flash over substance.

Is there a practical benefit for having the windows come up like that?

Probaly not, but it does look cool

will the fact that my vitsa install was an upgrade from XP??

(Im not using vista now, but will be when nvidia add gamma control to there vista drivers)
