  • Windows 7 does not actually change to the application, it gives you an "Aero Peek" at it, just as hovering your mouse over the icon in the Taskbar does. However, with Alt + Tab it seems as though it selects the Window because you cannot "cancel" the task switch since releasing the keys DOES select the Window.
