And they're charging for it. I think I'll wait for the inevitable freeware version.

Ok ok, I get it now.  :D

i hope apple does sue them.

whata stretch for a supposedly original piece of software! what does it do anyway? it's a window switcher? a window list? or a workspace switcher? i got several of these free with mandrake linux. any decent desktop environment provides at least one of these.

i don't miss ripoffware and "share"ware...

I don't really know if it was illegal to produce Expose for Windows. If it is, then they will be hearing from Cuppertino real soon. If not, then I don't mind. Just take a look at the problems it has in a Windows environment.

Expose has saved my day on OS X. I have a 12" iBook 600 and when I open too many windows I always loose track of them as they tend to easily clutter up my desktop. With Expose, I just press F9 and I get all of my Windows on screen and choose from there. I think that there is a demo on Apple's site. It is practical any way.

It's stupid anyway, because Windows could do that stuff since 95, but without the shortcut keys.

are you sure its a ripoff? sure its not the same developer? i mean, how could anyone be stupid enough to be that blatant? if it is, they need to be sued.
