I'm pretty sure this first question has nothing to do with
'Vista',  hence, I'm interested to answer it (;-)

AFAIK,  C-[Tab] has never been defined for me in emacs.
There's  'C-x b' or  'C-x o' (and others)  that are useful for switching
buffers, and if you want you can decide to  bind  C-[Tab] to one
of those.   But to which one would you want ?

Martin

AFAIK, many people feel that to downgrade from Vista to XP 
really feels like an upgrade for them.
[ Of course, they have never upgraded to Ubuntu Linux or Mac OS X, 
   or they would know even better  ;-) :-) ]
