For those who havn’t had the privilege of ever using a mac, theres a cool feature called Expose. Basically it sets up ‘hot points’ on your laptop, so that if I move my cursor to the top left of the screen all the windows i have open align themselves in a neat and orderly fashion, like so:

If I go to the top right, if I had say photoshop and 50 images open it’d organise just the images in photoshop in a nice fashion so I can click whichever one I need. The bottom left hides all the windows so I can get to the desktop and finally the bottom right goes to the ‘dashboard’ where I have lots of cool ‘widgets’:

I’ve gotten so used to this piece of software it actually makes me angry whenever I go on a pc, move my mouse to the top left corner and it doesn’t do anything! When I went home the otherday, I found iEx. Which does what expose does with open windows, on windows! Its not as smooth and you need .NET and other things installed, but once the nitty grittys done, press f9 and you’ll be in organisational heaven!

You can download it here.
