Apple borrowed this idea from a research lab called Xerox PARC. In that era before digital cameras MP3 files and the Web managing your windows was easy this way after all you had only about three of them. These days however managing all the open windows in all the open programs can be like herding cats. Off you go burrowing through the microscopic pop-up menus of your taskbar buttons Windows or the Dock Mac OS X trying to find the window you want. And heaven help you if you need to duck back to the desktop to find a newly downloaded file for example or eject a disk. You ll have to fight your way through 50 000 other windows on your way to the bottom of the deck. Exposé represents the first fresh look at this problem in decades.
