Switcher, like most applications that M$oft includes with it's OS is anemic at best. Tried Wisbar and wasn't impressed. Love Icbar.

Use Zap! for program switching... RhinoLaunch for icons (don't remember what wisbar/icbar do, tried them so long ago!!)

What if this weren't a rhetorical question?

weak pocket plus you have to buy. Icbar is great and its free. BTW the Dell Switcher is from dell, hence the name, not M$.

i have used them all - wisbar, icbar and dell swtichbar. i am currently using wisbar advance version 1.0.0.15. i like the default theme, but am using the ppc option. i also use handymenu and handy launcher because i like the single icon in the bottom bar. the biggest reason i use wisbar is the "x" button actually closing programs, but i like the other features as well.

Heart Wisbar Advance all the way.

I have used all of the launcher/switcher apps.. and Wisbar Advance is by far my favorite. Theme supports kicks all the other one's buts.. =)
