Get Exposé on Windows XP, for free, without TopDesk: WinExposé

I am using an awesome program right now called WinExposé. It is freeware, and has all (I think) of the major features of Exposé on a Mac. One of the things I love about it is that it has live previews of window; if I am playing a YouTube video in Firefox or something, it will continue to play in its thumbnail form when I open WinExposé. It also supports keyboard input; for instance, this paragraph was typed while in thumbnail view (this feature is also available in Beryl on Linux). The only problem with keyboard input is that it doesn't let you switch programs that you are typing into unless you exit the thumbnail view first. Here is a screenshot:

WinExposé

WinExposé has a lot of customization too, which I like a lot. Perhaps the best thing is that it requires no installation; just save the folder where you want it to be, and run it from there. This means that it doesn't crap up your registry.

I would give you a link to download it, but the site seems to be down right now. I have uploaded it to my Google Page Creator, though (I hope the creators don't mind!), so here it is: http://ioannusdeverani.googlepages.com/winexpose.zip

Enjoy!!!
