The worst crash ever in the world.

I still prefer the standard way. it's visual and effective.

This fixes a major UI flaw and it's great! I never used the minimise button before but now I use it instead of hide.

It always annoyed me that after hiding multiple finder windows, clicking the desktop made the all visible again. Minimising them solves this problem.

OMG. TUAW. This is awesome. I never minimized windows before because I hated how it was implemented. They finally "fixed" it IMO.

Yea!

Weird that Expose shows very small icon for the only Safari window when the whole screen is available.

Yeah, regular Exposé shows the minimized windows too, so just tap the key to see anything except hidden windows.

The hold shift trick works with Dock Exposé too. Hold shift then click and hold on a Dock icon. When there, hold the option key, and the app icon menu changes like before to have Force Quit, etc. Now hold shift while pressing or releasing option here. Even that menu transition goes in slow motion.

Great tip! And I like how expose shows which windows are minimized

Not sure if this has been covered or not yet but another neat feature I just found out about. If you hold down the option key and click on the Airport Icon in the menu bar, if gives you additional information about the wireless network you are connected to. Such as type, bssid, the security type, the channel #, etc. Check it out!

With windows minimized, click and hold the application icon on the dock - all windows are shown AKA stacks.

They need to add some indication on the app icon that there are minimized windows behind it.
