Explore the Dock, Exposé, Spaces, and the Dashboard
Mac OS X’s Dock, Exposé, Spaces, and Dashboard help you use your MacBook’s desktop more effectively.
The Dock is a bar containing many icons you can click to open the related item. Exposé is a feature that helps you manage open windows quickly and efficiently. Spaces allow you to create groups of applications and windows, and switch between them easily. The Dashboard presents mini-applications, called widgets, that you can quickly access and use.
