Exposé clone is a computer software which mimics the window switching feature of Mac OS X operating system called Exposé. This type of software excludes the Mac OS X platform and is usually developed for Microsoft Windows or Linux. Furthermore some of the Exposé clone programs improve on the features and/or functionality of the original Exposé making them more configurable and in some cases this type of software introduces a new way of the window tiling animation. For example TopDesk offers both Exposé and Windows Flip 3D style of tiling animation.
