It's a third-rate clone of Apple's OSX Expose feature, which itself is an exploration of zoomable UI. One particular feature of Vista that I find almost unforgivably lame is Flip3D. Like anything else, there's plenty to be critical of in Vista. Or at least it will be, once Service Pack 1 is released. Sure, it's far from what was originally promised in terms of features, but it's still a solid quality of life improvement from the crusty old 2001 version of Windows XP. I'm one of the rare people who actually likes Windows Vista.
