Alt+tab equivalent on Mac?

New Mac mini user here. I'm using my previous PC keyboard. Is there an equivalent to the PC alt+tab keyboard combination that switches between windows? After a search I found something about command+tab performing this function, but, of course, there isn't a command key on a PC keyboard. Any way I can do this with my setup?

Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

To be clear, command-tab will switch between open applications, not windows. You need to use command-tilde (~) to switch between windows of one application. And since the command keys should function the same as the alt key on a pc keyboard I think, then just substitute the command for alt. Should work. Or is it control key on a pc that equals command on mac? Hmmm.
