Manipulating Window Panes

Question

When using Vista, Opening, closing, and changing window pane sizes is all the same, I haven't scene any controls for turning them or changing the view angle as scene in demo screan shots. Can anyone shed any light into accessing some of these cool features that really sets the UI apart from XP?

Are you talking about the 3-d flip feature? Just hold the window key and press tab to flip open windows.

Try holding the windows key, the ctrl key and the tab key down at the same time. This will give you the 3d features of all windows on screen at the same time and let you move them forward or backwards and then select the screen you want.

No, I'm not talking about the 3D flip with the alt Tab keys. I believe I had scene Longhorn previews demonstrating the viewing of multiple windows by shifting the viewing of windows on more than 2 axis points and being able to 'roll' or 'swivel' the windows similar to how the 3d flip does but allows your to spread them apart to work in each of them. There was the ability to swivel up or down as well as left and right . For instance, instead of having 2 windows side by side vertically, you could swivel the panes inward toward the center to give more depth to the middle allowing more width of the 2 windws. It would have the appearance of opening a book aproximately 60 degrees. Am I making any sense?
