Oh its much better than Expose. Ive been running beryl for several months 
now. Hit the top-right and all windows are scaled and tiled but the 
contents continue to update (so movies playing in mplayer carry on playing 
at their smaller sizes). Ditto for task switching with ALT TAB (thumbnails 
continue to update). I can also hold down the scroll wheel when over the 
background and the whole desktop becomes a cube which I can rotate in any 
direction (I have four desktops configured). The cube can be transparent 
so you can see the window layers from behind. The window contents, of 
course, continue to update in real time (so for movies, you're watching 
them from behind the screen ;-)

Anyway, basically the effects put OS X to shame...
