How does your approach differ from the other people that tried to do this for windows? (If you ever come back and shouldn't this have gone in the software section).

Sorry, I wasn't sure where to put this topic, as although it's a software product, it deals with OS features. I saw a post discussing a similar application in this section, so I posted here. I'll be sure to put posts involving software in the software section next time

Our approach differs in that we snapshot windows as you work, so the image that you see in "Expose mode" is always up to date. We also use OpenGL to animate the window scaling, so the effect looks quite a bit closer to Expose than other clones. Finally, we add extra features, like handing minimized windows, and allowing mouse buttons to be bound to hotkeys.
