Mamoun:
Well unfortunately I can't running Switcher 2 on Seven because I use the theme "Windows Classic" so Aero is disabled :/

Same problem, I always wonder why the heck it needs Aero to support windows thumbnails. I can get my old laptop to make coffee using a linux distro but I can't have a simple thing like windows thumbnails in windows.

Because Aero is more than a skin, it's all about gpu acceleration. Without Aero, a thing like Switcher is still possible, but you'd have to continually poll each and every window for updates, which not only would mean sloppy animation but also a lot of CPU consumption.

Hyphen:
Is there anything I can use to basically center (horizontally and vertically) a single window?

Hi guys... been looking for Expose like clones for windows for ages. (Using Win 7x64) The best one that i've found and am still using is called WinExpose.
It works great and i launch it with my startups with Startup Delayer.
The only flaw is that the shortcut key function doesn't work. Other than that you can program it launch the expose-like function at the 4 corners of your screen.
Enjoy.
