ThumbWin is specially designed for Windows XP, adds new desktop function - to display the window thumbnail to desktop directly, easy to switch (after each window is minimized, you will see the effects), which is similar to Windows Vista/7/8, supports displaying the thumbnail of minimized window.
In general, maybe you will not find it any use, but once when need to open many windows at the same time, you will find its advantages, with ThumbWin, you don't have to waste time to click on each window looking for the one you need, only need to put your mouse on the minimized window and see the thumbnail, that's all.
Opera had a tabbed page preview function long time ago, that is, when the mouse is put on the tabbed page, Opera will display the thumbnail of each web page, this is very convenient. Firefox can also achieve this purpose through plugins. As for Windows, Vista and higher versions have integrated this function to the taskbar, but not for the still most popular Windows version at the moment - XP!
BTW, ThumbWin also supports settings for the sizes of the thumbnails and the displayed information, besides, it only occupy very few system resources, which means it won't affect the operations of other programs.
