Fisrt of all make sure that this function is ticked (enabled) from the compiz settings manager and that your graphic's card effects are enabled.

Using your left hand, with one finger - your thumb- you press (and keep pressed) the super key (the key that has the windows flag on it) and then with your other finger (i.e. the middle finger) you press once (and then periodically) the tab key.

If you have a lot of windows open, by doing the above, you will see your windows coming in the center of the screen and interchnage like cards. Every time you press the tab key, these "cards" will interchange. It is actually very very helpful and cool!
