My name is Cédric Bozzi, I make apps and websites, and this is my tech blog — you’ll find news commentary here, from a very opinionated Mac-head.

Il y a une version française ici, but most of this blog’s contents are extracted from my Twitter feed, and hence only available in one language (which varies randomly).

Microsoft has actually copied Exposé

I agree that Flip 3D can’t adequately be called a copy of Exposé; it’s more of an evolution of Alt-Tab, certainly inspired by Exposé but rather different functionally, and adapted to the keyboard-centric usage of Windows. (And, in that respect — and in the opinion of someone who hasn’t seen a Vista install in person yet — it’s a pretty good evolution of an ages-old feature.)

However, it turns out there is actually an Exposé clone in the latest IntelliPoint software for Microsoft’s mice and trackballs. Oh, and it looks weird.
