It might be nice. But what I absolutely dig is thze Aero Snap - I`ve even downloaded it for XP. Great implementation of powerful idea. OK, i get it now. It might be nice.

Think of it as Apple's Expose, but instead of showing you mini thumbnails, it just shows you the actual window content in its real position.

That is a far better implementation than this "only show me borders aka distracting lines" feature. If I want to temporarily see my desktop or gadgets, show me them, you don't need to ghost windows. It doesn't make the feature "cool", it just makes it annoying. Does Apple have the whole slide everything out of the way expose thing patented or something?
