Alt-tab still switches between windows in Gnome 3, doesn't it?  

Ctrl-alt-D minimizes all windows...

I don't think that anybody in the FOSS world should need to look to Microsoft for UI ideas... Microsoft does not have the capability to design a coherent UI with a long term plan.   MS is all about random featurism and user lockin.

When I have many windows opened and I'm constantly opening and closing them, it's great, however sometimes people need some integrated environment.

Then the best solution is surprisingly the one from Windows 7, where SuperKey+numbers switches to corresponding window on the bar. It's so obvious and easy that we may think that we have nothing to do with it. Of course it's false!

In the high school I was forced to read poetry. At first I could it twenty times I don't see anything, but analysing line by line let me deepen my interpretations. It didn't change my negative attitude at all, but showed me how how much can be overlooked in overall view. (sorry if I am obvious once again). The intuition may omit some things. By analysing single case we can find solution for wide range of them, just as by analysing single verse of poem we can find an idea for whole interpretation.
