Flip 3D is so much more inferior to Expose

Why couldn't Windows copy something good from OS X?

I tried Switcher on Windows but I don't really like it, I prefer OS X's or Ubuntu's Expose. Is there such a program for Windows?

yah, its called the windows taskbar. you know, something that actually allows you to multitask without useless eye candy.

what do you not like about switcher? its basically the same as expose except way more configurable.

I don't like the way it shows the Windows thumbnails, some windows are way too small and others are too big. Playing around with the settings didn't help either. Try Expose on OS X and Ubuntu and then go back to Switcher and you will know what I mean.

I just found out Logitech has this application called Application Switcher and it seems to work, but I can't get the animation time to decrease otherwise it would be a good alternative to Switcher.

I bet I can click on the taskbar faster than you can Expose all the windows and select one.

However you have to do some reading in the process. I prefer the visual way.

I hate Flip 3D as well. That's why I don't use it.
