There are one or two demo-type applications out there, should be pretty easy to find if you search a little. Unfortunately, none of the ones I've seen are realistically functional, and whatever internal Windows component they utilize, it results in them being fairly slow. All the ones I've seen also seem to have a problem where hitting alt-tab sometimes brings up the new one, sometimes not. And none grab dynamic info about programs, requiring you to instead fill out a .ini file with all the programs you intend on alt-tab'ing through.

So, it's out there if you want to see the effect, but none are that useful.

another great application that replaces the ALT+TAB function:

TaskSwitch XP

Fully customizable. And Freeware.

As kattenvenne mentioned, TaskSwitch XP is actually not bad at all. I was extremely impressed when I tried it out recently, and I'm pretty picky about these things. I was really impressed with its low memory usage, and the almost realtime displaying of current windows, not to mention the fact that it's hyper customizable. IMHO it's definately the one to try if you're after the alt-tab replacement. That being said I always find myself going back to the native windows alt-tab.
