[QUOTE="cde_woods, post: 52646"] I see you have a five button Microsoft intellimouse, like me. I like to use the two side buttons on it (button four and five) to activate Expose' features. I set the thumb button to show all the windows in a "tiled" layout, as you put it. The button on the right side of the mouse is set to move all of the windows out of the way and show the desktop. It's not the equivilant of Windows+M (which, as somebody mentioned, is Apple+M) but I find it to be better as I don't have to go through all those windows at the bottom and maximise them again, I can just hit that mouse button and they slide back into place where they were. Just as a note, it's not like these buttons can do anything else in OS X (it was designed to work with a one-button mouse!) so they might as well be set to expose to keep you from having to memorize what F8-F11 key does what.
