Microsoft copies multi-touch gestures from OS X to Windows 10

It seems that Microsoft has not played as well as expected with Windows 8 with a rate of users unhappy with it interface change and way of interacting with the system, much more oriented to a tactile usability than to a more traditional use of mouse, trackpad or keyboard.

For this very reason Microsoft has had a good idea for its next version of the operating system that it would be none other than "copying" much of the multi-touch gestures that we can carry out with OS X and implement them on Windows.

The famous website »The Verge» has echoed the news to power try a beta version of Windows 10 at TechEd Europe, Microsoft's international conference for business professionals and developers, where Microsoft's Joe Belfiore presented this new »groundbreaking« idea.

With Windows 10 we are adding support so that users have more possibilities on a touch screen with multiple finger gestures, where all of you can take advantage of this function to make it really efficient.

Among the demonstrated gestures that were presented, it may sound a lot to us users who have been using OS X for a while. The example is that what is done with three fingers down in the Microsoft system has its equivalent in OS X with the thumb and three fingers to show the desktop or for example to be able to slide with three fingers equally from the side of the screen when the applications are in full screen to be able to exchange between one and the other, instead of the four defaults in OS X, among many others.

Of course, we must remember that Microsoft already added a series of trackpad gestures in Windows 8, including two-finger scrolling. If you want to try it out for yourself and can get a picture of Windows 10, Parallels recently released an installation guide for this case.
