Microsoft Touch Mouse

Microsoft has released a touch mouse that supposedly has 11 touch gestures that "makes everyday tasks more fluid and intuitive by using natural gestures instead of clicks."

And I thought "intuitive" was a Apple word  tongue

Well, the touch gesture thing seems to have caught on with the PC world... I don't know how they'd menage making the gestures work with all those different hardware that Window 7 runs on.

Oh, and this mouse was specifically built for Windows 7 so forget it if you're still on XP or Vista  smile

11 touch gestures?! Current computer mice only have around 1 basic gestures involved (clicking. Make it two gestures if the mouse has a scroll wheel). I can't imagine what these eleven gestures are that would make it easier than clicking.  hmm

Re: Microsoft Touch Mouse

Microsoft has been copying Apple since 1989(?). I'm not surprised.

And yeah, XP was the last Windows OS that wasn't ugly/memory-hogging.


Yawn, another boring text signature. I should really make something better.

If you've ever used a Mac, you should understand.  You can move your fingers across the touch-sensitive mouse in such ways that things happen.  For example, in Snow Leopard version of Mac OS X, four fingers up is Show Desktop, or three fingers left is Back in a web browser (opposite for Forward), or two finger drag in any direction is Scroll in that direction (when scrolling is possible).

The way you're spelling makes you at least 20% less credible.
