[Update] TaskSwitchXP Pro

[Goeroeboeroe]

TaskSwitchXP is an advanced task management utility that picks up where
the standard Windows Alt+Tab switcher leaves off. It provides the same
functionality, and adds visual styles to the dialog and also enhances it
by displaying thumbnail preview of the application that will be switched
to. TaskSwitchXP also has a powerful process and window management
capability that allows you quickly to close/minimize applications and
their groups. The unique capabilities of TaskSwitchXP make it useful for
tracking down multitudinous windows, and provide insight into the way
Windows and applications work.

There is a Windows XP Powertoy from Microsoft that does something similar.
How do they compare?

I first used the Powertoy, but switched to TaskSwitchXP, because I think
it has a much clearer screen and it certainly has much more
possibilities, like how you want your preview, excluded programs, etc.,
etc.
