There's a windows XP powertoy that displays a little iconified version of the window in question when you alt-tab. From the microsoft powertoys web site.

I *hate* the alt-tab powertoy. It is evil, it changes the behavior of alt-tab to display the current window the first time you press alt-tab instead of moving to the next window. What were they thinking?

WinPLOSION was been out for a year and a half and is a much more stable version of "Expose" than entbloess.

I just installed Entbloess -- in addition to the "Expose effect" being aesthically pitiful and much slower compared to real thing on OS X, it barfs on multiple monitors.
Why it feels the need to restore all the minimized windows whenever it triggers the effect is beyond me...

Yeah, I agree. I love Entbloess. It has a great name, plus, it is very reliable, reasonably priced, and fast relative to all the other switchers on the market. Plus, it works on both 2k and XP which is very rare. Its my top choice. Check it out: http://www.entbloess.com/

Quite pathetic it is - stealing another firms ideas. But it fits the whole non-quality cheat steal and lie Microsoft-philosophy. If you like expos

every PC person admits, Apple does UI really well but doesnt mean we want to ure their OS, we only want the UI

I must say, that after a few tweaks (get rid of the fading, that's really taking speed, and fiddle a little with the preview-options too), this software is pretty cool. And for 8 USD? That's good! Really, Entbl

Entbloess is cool but it does'nt work on multiple screens... so i go for winplosion...

just a small point; if you wanted to change apps without looking, how in the HELL was an expose type effect (a spacial, visual app switcher) going to be of any use to you?

The problem with both of these products is that they work by making a picture of each window, then shrinking it down. The Mac takes the actual windows and shrinks them down directly. The Mac way saves time (especially with many windows open) and mucho mucho memory. Also, with the mac approach, the windows continue to update - a cool but ultimately unnecessary feature.
I have two Windows machines and a Mac, and I am looking for an Expose for Windows clone. These come pretty close, but are simply not as usable right now. Credit the authors, though, because I think they are quite limited by way the operating system displays windows.

Well, if they use the PrintWindow API, the same effect will be had. Check out "Visual Task Tips" and "TaskSwitchXP Pro"... both uses PrintWindow API, and I can see my WinRAR progressing with them.

Just a quick note to all the mac lovers in here. those nice little animated docks and desktop gadgets that make the ui look so cool were actually taken from stardock apps for the win98 os. hmm whos stealin whos ideas now eh.... ps macs dont get hacks or viruses because there in the minority unless you own a print firm
Tim
Well that's kind of an old fashioned opinion.. you don't necessarily have to own a print firm.. music-studios use them as well as motion-picture-studios, photographers and designers in general. Mac's for design :P It is that way because it offers a much better work-flow than a PC does.
Back to the "stealing"-thing: true, things like docks and gadgets might have been there before apple used'em in osx but they actually BOUGHT those ideas.. that's a little diffrent from stealing right? Also they invented the f&%
