There was a program out there that attempted to do it but performance was terrible even on a high end machine. Its more of a gimick. Frankly, I don't see it happening realistically on a PC until Microsoft actually makes USE of our GPU's under Windows. Read Longhorn.

Otherwise get used to Alt+Tab

All expose does is make up for the fact that there is absolutely NO window list ANYWHERE in OSX. This is a HUGE FLAW in the UI design, and is barely mitigated by the gimmicy expose. They should have kept the pull-down ala classic.

Window list?

All open applications are shown in the dock. It's pretty obvious what is going on once you get used to it.

Anyways for the particular windows, OS X doesn't realy use them, each application get's it's own virtual desktop or plane or whatever. And you switch between the different planes.

Doesn't seem like much of a flaw to me.

In fact I like that better then the MS and commonly used-Linux solution were you have gobs of individual windows all stuffed into one screen.

You just click on your application and all the windows associated with it comes up at the same time and you aviod situations were you have a single agry dialog box that doesn't want you to go anywere until you click "apply". "ok" or "cancel"

Never had any trouble with it before, even without anything like expose.
