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 nger. You can use your nger 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 nger. Zoom in on an image by
moving two ngers apart, or zoom out by moving two ngers closer together, like you’re pinching some-
thing. Rotate an image on the screen by rotating one nger around another, or right-click by holding one
nger on your target and tapping the screen with a second nger.
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.
