I count 75 open windows right now on desktop 1.  While not having the icons wrap 
is a problem, I'd really like to see the alt-tab task list interface turn into something 
more than a simple stack.  Maybe something similar to the window-list button on the 
taskbar (which lets you select an item with the mouse).  If you setup the task list to 
wrap at about 60% of the screen, but had it accessible as a matrix so that as long 
as you kept the ALT key depressed, you could use the keyboard arrows to jump to 
the next row or you could select an item with the mouse.  I think the dialog should 
preserve the current ALT-TAB cycling behavior, but adding the option of a "random 
access" feature once you have the list box would be great.  Possibly even allow 
the 1,2,3,etc keys to jump to the respective app (so you would hold alt, and hit 
tab,4 to jump to the fourth item in the list.)
