This handy utility allows you to quickly switch from one window to another, though it has a limited trial period.
Reflex Vision offers an easy-to-use, no-frills interface that you can access through the system tray. There, you'll find options to customize the program's appearance, animation and hot keys. Reflex Vision utilizes default function keys (F9, F10, and F11), but you can opt to use your own set of hot keys or define a mouse's hot spots.
We were impressed by Reflex Vision's transition and animation effects as well as how quickly and flawlessly it performed during testing. Hot keys and hot spots were helpful for displaying the desktop and for calling out all specific application windows. Our only complaint is the 100-use trial period. Aside from the demo restriction, those looking for an easy-to-use window manager will appreciate what Reflex Vision has to offer.

Nice OS-X Expose' Imitation, but memory hog
Pros: It works much like Expose on OS-X and functions without flicker on a GeForce FX 5600 graphics card. The response time is very good and the motion is fluid. All settings can be customized. (reviewed version 3.0.2)
Cons: On the default setting it uses too much system RAM (up to 44MB), which is a lot for a small utility. This can be improved, though by using Video RAM which will reduce memory usage to 14MB.
Reflex Vision
Pros: Completely customizable
Very reasonable price
Amazing tech support
Very intuitive
Fast response time
A MUST DOWNLOAD!!
Cons: there is a flickering issue only sometimes, which is a minor glich that they informed me they would be fixing. This ocurrs when the windows are redrawn. But do not let this deter you!!!

Great mac-like interface, beside some bugs
Pros: - Fast and useful, just like the mac version
- Great alternative to alt+tab
- Fairly price
Cons: - Support is slow or non-existent, since none of my email got an answer
- The "show desktop" has a bug with some softwares that does not allow you to select the window again after you invocate this function (I experienced this issue with Outlook 2007, Total Commander 6.64/7.0rc4, Nero Express 5.5.7.1, Project 2003 and MediaMonkey 2.5.5.996/3.0.0.1034.
- Demo version is way too short.
Reflex Vision
Pros: Very configurable and handy.
Cons: The window animation jitters terribly. Only solution is to turn it off, which means you don't get the nice Mac style window shrinking thing. Still works, but not the way it should and I have a lot of ram and a good 256 mb graphics card.
