It is a little bit different to moving your mouse and then clicking or pressing a key combination.

The way it works is different too - they slide to the side and are not minimized. It is extremely useful if you want to get something off your desktop quickly.
Appart from the sliding effect, WIN+D or WIN+M does exactly the same...

What you linked to and whatever isn't what he asked for.
as said, the key combination WIN+D or WIN+M is the Windows way of showing your desktop, hence it is a very good alternative of what has been asked for. The link I provided explains those key combinations in more detail.
Many questions are asked in this same manner, by giving an example, and the user doesn't always mean the exact same behaviour as in the given example, but a similar one to the main part of their example.
If the important part in his example is to have the slide effect, then obviously no, this doesn't do that. But from what I read the important part was to show the desktop, which is exactly what WIN+M and/or WIN+D do...

means it is invoked by pressing a function key. He thinks it was F9 but isn't sure, but what he wanted is (with whatever function key it was invoked on the mac):
