In a new video, Microsoft CVP and Windows boss Pavan Davuluri has teased that the future of Windows will consist of a truly ambient and multi-modal experience made possible by AI that will redefine our usage of computers.
I see three ways of switching windows on windows :
Clicking on the taskbar, but its quite slow because it relies entirely on mouse control
Using alt+tab, this is super efficient when you have at most 4 windows open, then you often have to scroll through the whole list and concentrate to not miss your window
Using the task view : this should be the modern way, the trackpads shortcut is super intuitive, it works well with many windows and is well integrated with virtual desktops. But it seems completely unfinished : it’s super laggy, very buggy (animations often freeze leaving some windows impossible to select) the taskbar blinks for no reason 🤷
But again, I think I’ve been spoiled by Linux. Many desktop environments integrates virtual screen so well that you can easily switch between apps in less than 200ms, which is a big deal : if you look at two apps it’s almost more convenient than moving your sight from one monitor to another (for example copying some data, or monitoring some progress)
