Last week, Windows 7 became available for public download and beta testing.
Paul Thurrott reports on a new feature called Aero Shake:
“Simply click and hold on the grabbable area of any floating (non-maximized) window and shake your h
and left
and right vigorously.
When you do so the first time, all o
ther open windows are minimized.
Repeat the action, and those minimized windows will be restored to their prior state.”
Nice. What’s more, P aul provides
a link to a utility that makes the feature available on Windows XP and Vista.
It’s nice that Windows FINALLY copied this Mac System 7 feature. Of course, on the Mac, it’s a menu item (Show All, Hide Others)–you don’t have to risk hurting your wrist.
