Fake Bill Gates Uses Exposé in Vista

If you’re anything like Fake Bill Gates, you’ve seen the Mac fanboys using Exposé on their macbooks to switch from window to window (Fake Bill Gates is not jealous though — no one should be jealous of unemployed people). You may have seen the Linux geeks using the same exact function provided by Compiz (Fake Bill Gates is still not jealous — no one should be jealous of unshowered people). Exposé is a function that puts all your windows on the same screen tiled out so you can click on any one of them to bring it in focus. Here’s a visual demonstration:

The truth of the matter is that alt-tab is decent for switching windows (and far better than the win-tab flipper), but Exposé is much nicer as it puts everything out on one screen. The problem is that Vista’s Aero doesn’t have the Exposé effect installed by default. You’ll have to add in that functionality. Luckily, a programmer has developed Exposé for Vista (source available there too). It works very well and I haven’t had any issues with it.
