New Intellimouse feature with latest Vista drivers

If you install the latest Vista drivers for Intellipoint mice you get a nifty feature. The drivers are located at https://www.microsoft.com/hardware/vista/vistasupport/intellipoint.mspx

Once installed, click Pearl (where Start used to be) | All Programs | Microsoft Mouse | Microsoft Mouse

By default, the middle wheel action is set to "instant viewer". Verify this is the case.

Now when you click the middle button you get a view of all open windows, which you can scroll through using the wheel and select by clicking on the window icon. It's kind of hard to explain but it is one of those features that "grows" on you to the point where after a day you find it difficult to do without it. 

It is definitely a snappier equivalent to ALT-TAB since you don't have to take your hand off the mouse.

The best way to get an idea of what I'm talking about is to install the driver.If you're running Vista and have a Microsoft mouse you're all set. This doesn't need brand new hardware - the mouse I used to test this out on is about 3 years old.
