Windows 7 for You: Makes New Things Possible

New Ways to Engage

Windows 7 is touch-friendly throughout. For instance, the Start menu, Windows Taskbar, and Windows Explorer all have bigger icons that are easier to select with your finger. You can use your finger to arrange the pictures in a photo album or scroll through and select recorded TV in Windows Media Center.

You can also control what happens on the screen by using more than one finger. Zoom in on an image by moving two fingers apart, or zoom out by moving two fingers closer together, like you’re pinching some- thing. Rotate an image on the screen by rotating one finger around another, or right-click by holding one finger on your target and tapping the screen with a second finger.

The multitouch features built into Windows 7 also provide a rich platform for software developers, giving them full access to multitouch data and manipulation APIs for stretching, rotating, or moving objects.

Note: Some product features of Windows 7, such as the ability to watch and record live TV or navigation through the use of touch, may require advanced or additional hardware.
