The feature works by hovering apps in the center of the monitor split, and then slowly dragging them in the direction of the transparent snap window that appears. Belfiore demonstrated a new Windows 10 build (9865) with the ability to snap windows side-by-side on multiple monitors, something power users have been calling for. Microsoft is also improving window snapping on multiple monitors. New gestures available in upcoming Windows 10 preview ' Good artists copy, great artists steal.' Microsoft and Apple have both borrowed desktop features from each other over the years, and former Apple CEO Steve Jobs unashamedly noted that Apple 'steals' great ideas to make its own. Microsoft is also borrowing the three finger swipe left and right to activate switching between apps, something Apple uses to move between fullscreen Mac applications. Not only does Task View look like OS X’s Mission Control (Exposé) feature, the three finger swipe up is the same gesture. An interesting addition is the ability to use a three finger swipe up gesture to activate the new Task View feature of Windows 10. The new gestures include a three finger swipe down action to minimize all active Windows and three finger swipe up to bring them back.

'With Windows 10 we’re adding support for power users in a touch pad, where multiple finger gestures - which all of you power users learn - can make you really efficient.' Microsoft introduced precision trackpads with the help of Intel in Windows 8 to improve the hardware situation, and now the focus is on gestures in software. 'In the past touch pads on Windows have really been done very differently because OEMs do them,' explained Belfiore. In a keynote speech at TechEd Europe today, Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore demonstrated new trackpad features that will soon be available to Windows 10 testers. Microsoft introduced new trackpad gestures in Windows 8, but the company is expanding them further with the upcoming release of Windows 10.
