This is a great utility; I installed it about fifteen minutes ago and already don’t know what I did without it. One of the great things about Mac OS X (and, apparently, Windows Vista) is toolset that allows you to easily deal with multiple windows. This tiny little utility gets you most of the way there without shelling out for the Windows upgrade (and the new computer that goes with it). When you hit Alt-Tab on keyboard rather than the unhelpful array of Windows icons you get little thumbnails and full window titles. If you have a lot of windows open, you can use the mouse to quickly select from the list. It seems to do some other things too, which I haven’t played with yet.
