Alt-Tab and switching

 

Hello Ayatana guys!  Just wanted to get some opinions...

I'm looking into making improvements to task/application switching on the desktop with Alt-Tab. There are slightly different approaches currently for Windows 7 and Mac.
Personally I like the Windows way, as the window preview in the 
background helps me find exactly what I'm looking for.  I can easily 
switch back and forth between 2 apps, and I can also see which window is 
part of which app.
I can see that the app-based approach in Mac isn't a bad thing, but 
without the window preview, I'm not sure how this approach would scale 
to smaller screens.
Any thoughts on this, and what would be good for Unity?

Regards,
Pippa
