I tried it and it did… shake again…and again…nothing, any way there is still the “Flip” feature for which I have a mouse with a “Flip” button.

These “Features” are a waste of resources. Make an OS that provides all of the functions and leave out the silly “features”. Let us once again install the utilities we want and let us leave out 50% of the stuff because we will never use it — our computers would run so much faster.

And the window snapping to a maximized state just because you moved it near the edge of the desktop is extremely annoying. If I want to maximize a window, I’ll do it myself. Thankfully, I found the setting to disable this silly, useless “feature”.

I have set my hot corners to work with Expose on my MacBook Pro so that when I swipe my mouse up into the top right corner, all the open windows are shown, the bottom right corner shows the desktop, the top left shows the active program and the bottom left brings up the dashboard.
I’ve found this to be a very natural interface (and incidentally means the upgrade to the new MBP holds little value for me). I get really frustrated at work where I have to work with Windows, so this is a welcome addition to Windows for me.

Looks like a cool feature and that particular gesture seems quite simple. What other gestures are there?? I know some of the mouse gesture apps you can add to windows XP have you nearly writing in chinese characters just to do something simple!! Simplicity is the key with features like this otherwise they will just be viewed as a cool gimmick but not really used and something that’s just clogging up windows again.
