[edit] Redundant explanations

Most of the length of this article is spent re-explaining what is at the very top in the strict behavior section. maybe this is neccessary to understand it better, but I found it distracting and annoying. PidGin128 as 149.168.174.18 17:42, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Windows Key - Tab

I noticed that the article doesn't talk about Windows Key - Tab, the new switcher introduced in Vista. Should that be included? --Kaishi Zero

It is not exclusive to vista, and works in xp and i believe before. PidGin128 as 149.168.174.18 17:39, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Error in The Precise Behavior

"The current window is always at the front of the list"

This is not true. For example if Task Manager is running (on Windows XP), then it is always at the front of the list and the current window is second.

"Esc while Alt is still down aborts the switch (not important)"

Why is this so much less important, that is it spelled out ?

[edit] compiz fusion Behaviour too simplistic

Because of compiz plug-in system you can have a wide range of different task switching methods in fact this is the whole point, you can change key combos to initiate the task switch and for any reasonably competent programmer its not an impossible task to implement custom visualisations —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.6.6.10 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TaskList.png

Image:TaskList.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
