So i've adhered to TNES campaign -- The New Exposé Sucks

well the title says it all...
i really really really DON'T like new Exposé features under Snow Leopard.

i could stand the WOW SO APPEALING elecritic blue for the glow... some guys like blue, i too like blue, but under the windows? glowing? a blue rectangle of BLUE color popping out when the windows are placing? not on my watch...
anyways you can change it easily so it's not a big deal

what really drives me crazy is something that itook a little to realize: the windows placement!
OH _ MY _ GOD _ (in blue)
what effect is that? all windows in a grid? where is the piece of art effect that would resize and place the windows according to their positions? am i running a compiz plugin? is that some rejected Windoze effect that somehow got in Snow Leopard sources?

i couldn't believe my eyes! Luckily then i found some scientific grounds to understand WHY i wasn't really liking the new exposè: it has to do with usability and feel experience, read more on these two posts

and so i've officially joined the anti-new-exposé campaign (all blue) and i hope that you join it too! To participate, just write some lines here http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html telling 'em how much you dislike the new exposé and want an option to bring the old one back!

let's hope in a future service pack... whoops i meant software update!
