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 hand left and right vigorously. When you do so the first time, all other open windows are minimized. Repeat the action, and those minimized windows will be restored to their prior state.”
Nice. What’s more, Paul 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.
