    AMD's new technology (software) called Hydravision lets you have window switching like in Ubuntu or OSX. It's not as great, as there are not quick switch options via keyboard shortcuts, but it still is usable. The only thing is I think that it only works with the 6770m, and if you guys give it a shot let me know what you think about it.

    From memory Hydravisions been around for awhile, since the series 9 days at least(yea im old haha), but I think that possibly it seems new coz it was disabled in the stock HP Radeon driver cats.

    You are right. It's been around for several years. I had it on a Dell 1721 about 4 years ago. Used it for like 2 minutes to answer the OP's question. Never installed or used it since.
