For someone who's tried it, how broken is the new Expose? Grid view in Snow Leopard was bad enough...

  The grid gone, at least for now. Exposé (now a part of Mission Control) returns more or less to its old behavior. Windows are resized proportionally and no more arranged in a grid. Quicklook continues to work and Exposé now stacks the windows of one application together. It is no longer possible to show minimized windows in Exposé. The dock is still displayed but clicking on an icon no longer displays the windows of that app in Exposé, OS X will just switch immediately to that app (the normal dock behavior). The Dashboard, all spaces and all fullscreen apps are displayed along the top of the Exposé view. It’s now possible to change the background image for each space individually but no longer possible to arrange Spaces in a grid (there is always a row of spaces). Clicking on a space in Exposé displays all its windows in Exposé mode. The bird’s-eye view of only the spaces is gone but you can drag windows in Exposé from one space to another. The arrow key Spaces shortcuts also allow you to switch to the Dashboard or fullscreen apps.

    So is there a way to invoke a completely 10.5-esue Expose? Proportional windows but NO windows/app grouping?

  If you're interested in getting Leopard's old-style exposé back in Snow Leopard, I wrote a blog post explaining how to do it: http://www.ofbrooklyn.com/2011/01/9/old-style-mac-os-x-leopard-expose-snow-leopard/ http://www.ofbrooklyn.com/2011/01/9/old-style-mac-os-x-leopa... Proportional-style windows make so much more sense than the grid-based layout. I'm thrilled that they've reverted back to that for Lion's exposé, using the grid for the new Mission Control view.

    Yep, the first thing I do on a new install is go to that Mac Rumors post and fix it!
