Old Expose in Snow Leopard
Don’t like the new Expose feature in Snow Leopard? We have a fix!
First of all, download this: Dock
Then, follow these steps closely:
1. Copy the Snow Leopard Beta Dock.app to the Desktop
2. In Terminal(/Applications/Utilities/Terminal), fix the permissions:
sudo chown -R root /Users/[short user name]/Desktop/Dock.app
sudo chgrp -R wheel /Users/[short user name]/Desktop/Dock.app
3. Make a folder called OldDock on the Desktop.
4. Kill the running Dock, move Snow Leopard’s old Dock to OldDock, and move Snow Leopard’s beta Dock to CoreServices:
sudo killall Dock && \
sudo mv /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app /Users/short_user_name/Desktop/OldDock/ && \
sudo mv /Users/short_user_name/Desktop/Dock.app /System/Library/CoreServices/
Just change the “short_user_name” part to your’s and then paste all of this as one line in the terminal. If you want the old Snow Leopard dock again, just reverse the steps. The old one is in your OldDock folder on your desktop. Enjoy!

Yes, thank you very much, the latest updated to Snow Leopard just deleted the fix I had done to Expose initially, and I could not find the same source again.
For the last code in the gray box I recommend cutting and pasting his code into text edit, then put in your user name, copy that, then paste that into terminal for best results.
