Windows 7 is turning out to be full of surprises. First there were all those fancy new technologies, and then the new Taskbar. Now we’ve learned it’ll support fancy mouse gestures too.
Take a look at the video below and you’ll see Windows 7’s Aero Shake function in action. It’ll let users clear the desktop of windows while they concentrate on a single app.
It’s similar to the Mac’s exposé system, which will show all windows at once, all windows from a single application, or a clean desktop. However, Apple doesn’t use mouse gestures to get the job done.
Instead, the newest Mac laptops use four-fingered trackpad gestures. There’s no way to accomplish that without a laptop, so for simplicity, we’re inclined to think Microsoft has the edge here.
What do you think? Neat feature, or a case of feature-creep that could clog up Windows 7, just like Vista?
