One more reason XP is better 1089

I don't expect everyhting I use frequently to be easily accessible instantly, on a mbutt-produced OS. I also expect some 'features' that I find downright silly or useless to be there 'in my face' when I first boot a new OS. I accept that I have to customize it, and that's why I go through pref panes and the like, to find out how to get rid of what I don't want and see what there is I want. Although far form perfect, Os X does a pretty good job of presenting all this and making it not unpleasant to do (mostly). At least the occurences where I feel I am fighting against an enemy who doesn't want me to disable things happen far less frequently than with windows. Linux is different again, I feel like features are a reward for having conquered another set of arcanenesses.

In finder there is already a show and hide finder option in the apple menu, and there are corresponding commands in the other apps. The system-wide commands in the apple menu are not similar to the expose features. have a look at what is there already, and imagine how incongruous it would be to have the expose features there.
