In the patched version of Emacs+EmacsW32 the Emacs Meta key can be
moved from Alt to the Windows keys. That is actually what I recommend
and use.
This of course conflicts with the normal use of the Windows keys. The
Windows keys are however possible to override with standard microsoft
api:s while overriding Alt+Tab is not possible that way.
Another reason for moving Emacs Meta from Alt to the Windows keys is
of course that the Alt key is used far more often than the Windows
keys.
