So, what is Exposé?
Missing from my Switcher 2.0 post yesterday was an explanation of what Exposé is. I guess some people are just too lazy to follow some links, but then again that’s not uncommon, after all why should you care?

I didn’t record the video but I can assure you it’s not as slow as it looks there. Actually the last version is very fast and smooth, with only a little bit of occasional lag noticed when I’m running dual monitors and thus a 2560×1200 desktop.
