How many windows do you have open right now?
Meandering through the TUAW Flickr group my eyes alighted upon this image. 'Hmm,' thought I, 'that's a lot of email in Exposé.' It got me to thinking about how I use my Mac. Tabbed browsing really has limited the number of windows I have open on my Mac, but perhaps I'm just an odd ball.
I thought it would be fun if everyone posted a picture of their currently opened windows being displayed by Exposé to the Flickr group. This totally unscientific survey would satisfy my curiosity, and I think it would be fun to boot. Here's my contribution. Yep, just three windows.

Tabbed browsing is a godsend.

Here is one I did a while back. I was messing around with album art and decided to open them all up at once. There are over 300 images all 800x800. This was all done on a PowerBook 17".

And here is what it looks like with them all minimized into the dock.

I'm too much of an old skooler, I live by Apple+H 99% of my day so there is usually no more than 2 windows open.

5 or 6 visible (if you want to include this browser window), 8 total.
I regularly keep Azureus & Mail hidden unless in the foreground.

I never have this, because I have Leopard! Spaces is so much better than Virtue becuase I can just flick my mouse to the lower-left corner and all my "Spaces" animate in. Safari on one, Finder isolated, media on another, and Mail by itself.

I'm a product of the old school, and use the Hide command all the time, and command tab to switch back. I rarely use Expose at all.
