Guys:
The corners that activate my exposé, screen saver etc. are known as Hot Corners... correct?


Your friend,

Ok... thanks... so it would be no trouble in calling them 'Hot Corners'? All we Mac users get what that is right?

Yes, but just wait... Vista is going to change all this with patented Temperature Corners. Why stop with Hot, when you can have Cold, Lukewarm, Tepid, Freezing, and Scorching corners?

The display will give you feedback with a strong color wash emanating out from the corners all the time, from Ice White to Fusion Red, to let you know what will happen when you get your cursor near the corner.

That's right, *near* the corner. Why have to move it all the way up there? Vista knows what you want to do, so it automatically adjusts a Helping Distance from the corner, and snaps your cursor to that corner automatically if you cross that line. (Helping Distance Visual Boundary Feedback only available in Vista Pro edition.)

It'll be INNOVATIVE!

I've always referred to them as hot corners.

Yea, they can have Clippy come out and say "It looks like you're going to mouse over to the corner, would you like some assistance?"

Ideas that never should have been thought of in the first place:

Very good indeed, There are a number of those clips that sum up exactly how I feel using MS software, be it Windows or Office.
