Hello everybody Have you ever heard about Expose? It is an awesome effect feature in MacOS to switch between windows smoothly. I really love it since I saw it on my friend’s macbook. Finally, I found a great application for windows Vista called Switcher that has almost have same usage compare to Expose in Mac. Switcher is a software to enable expose effect on windows Vista. This software runs very beautiful in my Windows Vista. You don’t need to worry about the cost because it is FREE. Some features are supported such as:

1. Three ways of view : Dock, Grid, and Tile

Switcher provides you three types of view. Just see the differences from the images below. Although you already choose one of view, you can activate another view when doing expose by pressing F1(Tile), F2(Dock) or F3(Grid)
