I just wish there was a way to have mini application icons on the windows when they tile out. With a lot of windows, Safari, Firefox and even Preview windows look way to similar. Or even a QuickLook zoom when moused over. Hmmm... greater functionality I use the expose feature quite a bit.

I have long used the Active Screen Corners, aka "move mouse to a corner" feature for Expose. In System Preferences for Expose, at the top of the window, is where you can set them. I use upper left for Application Windows, upper right for All Windows, and lower left for Desktop. You may prefer a different setup. I use a two button mouse with scroll wheel. I have clicking the scroll wheel (called "Mouse Button 3" by Apple) to show all windows. Very handy. Don't even need to move the mouse pointer to a corner or to the Dock to see all windows. Or you could set it to show Application Windows. Expose is great stuff and one of the things about OS X that blows Windows out of the water! Cool!

The word you're looking for here is "its" (without an apostrophe). Come on geeks! Learn how to spell. Where's your editor? “It’s” (with an apostrophe) = “it is”.

I know it's not as "sexy" as using what you've got here, but if you only have 2 windows open for a given app, it's much quicker than using your mouse to hover, click and hold down, then select the window you want. What Apple engineers should do in its next iteration of this feature is make it so that hovering over the thumbs magnifies it the way dock icons can be.
