If you go into compiz config settings manager, you might need to install
it, and enable 'shift switcher' under the windows management group you
can use super-tab (windows key-tab) to switch windows on the current
viewport and alt-super-tab to cycle through all open windows. If you
really wish to change the key bindings to alt-tab you'll need to go into
the unity-plugin under the desktop group to disable or rebind the keys
for the current actions.
They flip by in a cool animated way too!
If you do this, I would leave the terminate key for expo (the viewport
switcher) intact. (It'll ask you what you want to do.) And for Pete's
sake make a note of what you change, you can really mess compiz up if
you forget what you've done.
