I use a different way of navigating between open windows, which is that I move my taskbar from the bottom to the left side of the screen. That way all the icons will show and each is clickable to move between windows. Means no <alt><tab> needed, as I can stay on my mouse. Have never been able to tolerate the Windoze bottom-taskbar standard, where the taskbar overflows with 3-4 windows.
There is one secondary problem with using left-taskbar, which is that some webpage designers are using the entire screenwidth, which forces some side-scrolling on their webpages -- not too swift!

For me, I find that holding down the Alt key and tapping the tab key a few times is a far quicker way of switching between applications, and in fact I find it much more useful with ten or twenty windows than I would with just a couple -- the little window that comes up gives you the title of each program, which is very helpful. Even with twenty windows an informal test suggests I can get to any one of them in under two seconds. But my experience isn't going to apply to everyone; I'm a very keyboard oriented user, and avoid the mouse if I can possibly do so.
