I have to clean my monitor enough as it is without touching the darn thing all the time. My mom told me to stop touching it since touching it too much would make you go blind. That remains to be seen, but eating lunch at your desk and then getting KFC grease on your multi-touch panning monitor sounds really yucky! How will they manage it? Will we all just sanitize our hands continuously with wipes or what? I have just one question about all this multi-touch panning stuff.

I assume the driver factor is very critical to it working and right now there isnt any for it. yeah doesn’t work on a lenovo x61 multitouch wacom tablet.

Multi-touch is hardware dependent. Some computers (Like the Dell Latitude XT) have multi-touch hardware which just isn't enabled in the drivers. Others, just don't have the hardware. @Infoholic: Depends if the hardware is present or not. Multi-touch is hardware dependent.

But anyway, I was wondering if you know of any way to increase the size of Aero Peek's live-thumbnail. They are rather small past 1024x768, or if you even just know which file controls Aero Peek besides explorer, if their is one. I know Vista has a thumbnail sizer, but, as predicted, it don't work on Windows 7 build. ~Eclypse Well, been checking back since the 3rd, and still waiting for the new unlocker.

If they ended up messing up their installs, it'd only be because of their own stupidity...but maybe i'm being too hard on the noobs, lol. I see what you mean.

I would love it if they would enable this for the good old mouse, too. I use the grab and drag add-in for Firefox and I love it - the momentum makes it easy to flick up and down through the page. It's so much easier to scroll around than with the scoll bar and/or mouse wheel. In fact, wouldn't it be awesome if MS made it so that everything - scroll bars, windows, icons - basically anything you can drag - had momentum? It would give a much more physical 'real-world' feel to the OS... Why does MS only enable panning gestures for touch input? I would love it if they would enable this for the good old mouse, too.
