Peek - After

    This is one of my favorite features. When you move your mouse to the lower right corner it shows your desktop with outlines of all the windows of open apps. Good if someone walks in your office and you want to keep them from reading your email. :)

      That's one way to do it... Or you could turn off your monitor.

      turning off your monitor is far more suspicious... I recommend alt+tab to a window that looks like work.

      finally!!! something besides flip3d to brag about. I've had enough of that compiz-fusion and Expose boasting.

      Exposé is a feature of the Mac OS X operating system. First previewed on 23 June 2003 at the Worldwide Developers Conference as a feature of the then forthcoming Mac OS X v10.3,[1] Exposé allows a user to quickly locate an open window, or to hide all windows and show the desktop without the need to click through many windows to find a specific target.

      the Aero Peek feature illustrated here allows the user to quickly "take a peek" at the desktop without minimizing all the windows as one would have had to do in a previous version.
      the bonus of this method is that the user needs only to mouse-over the peek button (right edge) and the windows turn into the outlines you see. to actually get to the desktop, clicking this button minimizes all windows.
      Winkey+D will minimize all windows, but Winkey+Spacebar will use this effect so long as you hold the Winkey down. releasing brings the windows back to solid.
      hope this clears up confusion.
