In the old days of Windows XP we had Windows flip, which switched through open applications on your computer when you pressed the WINKEY and the TAB key. Now in Windows Vista you can still do this, however now it has Windows Vista flip 3D. This is one of the new features that  comes with Windows Vista Aero.

Window Vista 3D Flip animates the entire idea of flipping through open applications. The open programs actually glide past you on your desktop in a cascading style, moving as you move the scroll wheel on your mouse. Then, conveniently you can click on any window in the line to open it fully to work on. You do not even have to click on the open application that is at the front of the line.

To use Windows Vista Aero Flip 3D you will need:

• Windows Vista Home Premium or higher. (not included with Home Basic)
• A compatible video card that is capable of running Aero Glass.
• A relatively fast computer for a seamless glide of open windows.

The great thing is that if you have a video playing or a game running, it will continue to do so while lined up behind other programs. The video keeps playing. A good way to test this is to put yourself on your webcam and wave to yourlsef when using aero flip 3D. You will be able to see yourslef moving even though the size of the window has been reduced.
