This feature of the IE7 Beta 2 is just plain cool:
There’s a similar feature available for Firefox called foXpose.

I love Reveal better than f0xpose, I’d seriously suggest you guys take a peep at it (http://aluminum.sourmilk.net/reveal/); it’s a very slick and friendly feeling to be able to find what window I want by typing!
Thanks for the feedback. I’ve seen reveal before, and the “find-by-typing” is was really cool, but it seemed to be a lot slower than foXpose.
I’ve responded to your post in your comments section, but the gist of it is that they’re fundamentally different environments. Tab order rarely changes, while window order constantly changes. If you were to change the tab order in both IE7 and foXpose, they’d behave in the same manner as TopDesk.
Quick and dirty writeup of how I’d change the interface of TopDesk.
