I'm not too sure how many people have seen this since most macs come with a one button mouse... but if you have a scroll wheel/3 button mouse, go to the Apple at the top left menu, press down on the scroll wheel and then the alt tab menu will appear. Then with the button still pressed you can actualy move to the alt tab menu and mouse over to the app you want and release the button... works pretty easy and is great for people who are more mouse bound and don't like looking at the dock/hide the dock.

It's not happening. Are you sure you don't have a special mouse with middle-click set to bring up the switcher?

Hmmm... I've got a micrsoft intelimouse. It's possible it's a feature of the driver but I would have thought it would be the OS. Not too sure... I'm using the button/scroll wheel... pressing it down as a button on the "Apple" (Apple menu icon)

You can press it down and it does it anywhere?

I got home and tried it again... yep it's the ms software and yep you can do it anywhere... I guess I was set back by the logic of it being over the apple when I first pressed (actually miss-pressed) the scroll/button while going for the apple menu. But it indeed works anywhere, which makes even more sence. Too bad you can't do that on XP!
