I'm trying to find something for Windows 7 that simplifies working with multiple programs & files the same way that Mission Control does for the Mac. I frequently have 5 or 6 programs running and often 3+ instances of those. Even with 3 monitors, it's difficult to organize everything so that I can see, at a glance, everything that I'm currently working on.

I don't expect there to be something out there that's exactly like Apple's Mission Control, but am looking for something that can simplify the desktop experience.

Have you tried Alt+Tab or WindowKey+Tab? – Conrad Frix Sep 23 '11 at 15:09

That's a joke, right? – John Sep 23 '11 at 15:11

Try this one ...

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mcsoft/

It arranges thumbnails into "piles" like mission control does, but with even a little more flexibility

Switcher seems like expose, i know that is not mission control but its better than the normal alt+tab :-D

Tried switcher. Doesn't look too bad. Unfortunately, it requires Aero to be turned on and Aero is incompatible with the the USB-VGA converters that I'm using for monitors 2 & 3. – John Sep 24 '11 at 14:58

This is the best functionality I've found. It might be more like spaces, but it's super customizable and allows up to 20 screens!
