Each operating system's method of viewing windows. Under Windows Vista is the famous Flip 3D, very beautiful but not very practical, which we prefer the traditional Alt + Tab. In Mac OS X is called Exposé function which lets you see all the windows on the screen.
And SmartFlip? This is neither more nor less than a crossroads of 2.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Flip 3D Vista, here's an overview:

Finally, a small glimpse of what can get SmartFlip:

SmartFlip thus combines a briefing at the same time it allows to operate a rotation windows via the mouse wheel - or a very discreet icons in the upper right corner of the screen. Numerous options are available to enable, among other things, set the opacity of windows or even whether to display the titles of windows.

As for Mac OS X, the shortcut key is used by default F9. Of course, it remains configurable.

Another interesting feature allows you to activate SmartFlip via the mouse. Suffice it to fly over a corner of the screen (upper left corner, by default) to switch between the windows.

As it does, although a beta version, the voice function is not available.
