eh? those options are still there.
Well. I guess that some people can't wait – there's a bunch of hackers working on getting the update from 10.5.7, which succeeded (as in they got the file) but the upgrade (still) fails.
I myself rather wait for the insane low priced upgrade. Probably my first well spent $29 ever
safari seems snappier.. no joke! i'm really liking the new minimized window behaviour in exposé it seems like they finally have a purpose
Hah! Reading about this made me suddenly realize that my current regular old Leopard (non-snow) can use expose to do drag and drop! I never even thought about that, but I just tested it now, and sure enough, it works! I started dragging a file, hit the button for expose to show all currently open windows, and then I was able to drop the file into any window I wanted! Awesome!

I don't think that this is activated by a click and hold, it's activated by dragging a file over onto a dock icon and then just hovering it over the app who's windows you want to see. So there's no clicking involved at all. Though the description in the MR item seems to state differently, so I'm confused. Or at least that afaik from what I've seen so far, I'm not a developer so I've never used it myself.

Clicking and holding will bring up the exposé along with all of those options hovering directly over the app in question.. also you can always right click the app if you want.
now when activating exposé either in application windows or for all windows any window you have minimized shows up beneath the grid of open windows, in a small form. This makes it actually useful to have minimized windows as you can still get to them from exposé quickly
That basically looks exactly like the current dock's behavior when you click and hold, but that seems to disagree with the MR article here which states

Am I misunderstanding something?
yeah but if they are replaced by expose on click and hold they wont be there anymore, am I not understanding this right?
Ah, ok, now that explains everything for me, should have been in the original article too, which is missing this very important detail.
OH! I see now, you're saying it does both. Hmm, I guess there's no problem with that.
I hear what you're saying. For me personally I find minimizing windows to be almost pointless, but I can see how this is an improvement for people who like to frequently minimize windows. I miss the ancient OS 9 feature where you could double click the title bar and the window would collapse up into just being a title bar with no window. I forget the name of that feature now.
Yeah the Dock improvements are really nice. When you minimize a windows it does show up in expose only it's smaller than the rest. I guess Mac geniuses will now stop telling people to use hide application instead of minimize.
Look at SkyBlue's screenshot, when you click and hold the application it activates Expose and gives you the Options to Quit and More Options.
