Two cool apps...
First, feeding my Mac envy I found an Expose' like utility for Windows. Its called TopDesk. Its pretty slick. I've only tried the "free" version so far, but for $10.00 it seems like it might be worth it. It takes all your open windows at tiles them for you (or zooms out, if you will) , then it lets you select one then "zooms" back in to it. Check it out.
Also, my other handy app is called VirtuaWin. It creates "virtual desktops" for Windows. Its much better than the Power Toy you can get from Microsoft, though not as fancy as others. Its open source and free! I have a 2 X 2 desktop setup both at home and at work. I have it configured to navigate to the next desktop when I hold the Ctrl key and move to the edge of the screen. By default it does it after you've paused at the edge (no Ctrl keypress required) and moves the mouse on you. That setup didn't work for me.
One note, these two apps seem to conflict with each other, so you'll have to pick one or the other. :-S
