As you can see, Microsoft does things somewhat differently, to better suit the character of Windows 10. On OS X, minimizing all windows is done through a four-finger pinch.

To give you an idea of how similar the Windows 10 gestures are to the ones offered in OS X, a three-finger swipe up on OS X will trigger Mission Control (an overview of all windows), while a three-finger swipe down will trigger Expose (an overview of all open windows of an app). Repeat the gesture and Windows 10 will display Task View a three-finger swipe to the sides will allow users to select which of the active windows should be brought up to the foreground. To see the minimized windows again, a three-finger swipe up on the trackpad will do the trick.

A couple of the new gestures were demoed.Ī three-finger swipe down on the trackpad will minimize all windows, allowing the user to quickly see only the desktop. Today, at TechEd Europe in Barcelona, Microsoft corporate vice president of Operating Systems Group Joe Belfiore revealed that Windows 10 will come with multi-touch gesture support, seemingly to put an end to the different approaches OEMs have when it comes to their software implementation.īelfiore added that the new multi-touch gestures that Windows 10 will offer are designed with power-users in mind, as this is the most likely group of Windows 10 users to take advantage of them frequently.
