Wrong. Have you read the apple URL?

"(...) Expos� instantly tiles all of your open windows � scales them down and
neatly arranges them, so you can see what�s in every single one. (...)
That�s not all. Move your mouse from one tiled window to the next, and
you�ll see its title displayed right in the center of the window. When
you find the window you need, just click on it. Magically, every window
will return to full size, and the window you clicked � whether it�s a
folder, a PDF, a QuickTime movie or a Word document � becomes the active
window and at the very top of the stack."
