WinExposed

alternateorg on January 9, 2004

Despite Scott’s insistence that it’s impressive because Windows doesn’t have Quartz, WinExposé still seems like a ripoff of something to me.. No sure what it could be, though…

And the fact that it uses the same hotspots, the preferences dialog looks exactly the same (but includes ridiculous options like “Speed” and “Quality”), the behavior is the same, and includes the same 2 modes (application windows only vs all windows open) make me think Apple will be hot on their trail pretty quickly.

A case for fair use, as it doesn’t compete directly with Exposé/MacOS X? Or just another Windows developer riding the only coat-tails worth it?

    Recently there was a bid request on rent-a-coder.com looking for someone to do the copy for the winexpose website.

    In the bid request they basically said that their program is a windows version of the mac expose.

    Bwahahahhah… thats just fucking ridiculous, maybe they should think of their own ideas… oh, wait, thats too hard.

    Can you really blame them for wanting Windows users to have the same features as you Mac users? Exposé is one of the most godlike features of Panther, and WinExposé will probably make a great addition to my OSX-themed WinXP machine 🙂

    Now the new official name of the company is WinPlosion, which is a pretty good description on what I think about Microsoft Windows. I know my windows friends will like WinPlosion from http://www.winplosion.com
