Introduction
In this article, we are going to explain how to use Flip 3D in Windows 8. Flip 3D is a very popular feature in Windows 7 and Windows Vista for switching among more than one application using the "Window key + Tab key". It is just like "Alt key + Tab key" switching among applications but in Flip 3D you can switch among applications in a 3D style.
In Windows 8 if you press the Windows Key + Tab key to switch applications in a 3D style then it will only work for Metro applications and it doesn't work for desktop applications. Because in Windows 8 the Flip 3D feature only works for Metro applications and it does not support Desktop applications. If you want to use this feature for Desktop applications then you have to use a third-party application such as "Switcher".
