Windows 7 Aero Shake
Martin | Nov 05, 2008 | Comments 5
The Microsoft Windows 7 development team seems to have put a lot of emphasize on smaller changes to the operating system that can have a big impact. We have already seen a few features that fall into that category like the Windows 7 Wallpaper Changer, the Windows 7 PC Safeguard or the new Windows 7 Taskbar. Another new feature that falls into that category is Windows 7 Aero Shake which basically provides a way to hide all but the active windows from the screen or revert that process. This is done by left-clicking a window and shaking it left and right. All other visible windows will automatically get minimized after doing so. The process can be reverted by shaking the window again which will reopen the minimized windows in the same position again.

Microsoft is finally tinkering with innovation again… i love it.
tom d i agree :) , its nice to see microsoft thinking of some of its own features this time :), ive been waiting for microsoft to do this ever since the release of vista :),(as we all know vista copies mac , but it will be diffrent with windows 7 ) :)
I’m a PC user. Apple team are smarter and more creative than Microsoft. Everytime new creative idea out from Apple, Microsoft copy them. Microsoft need to hired creative people, like the Asian people. They are more creative than any other country and much smarter too. Look at all the creative work in the Speciall Effects field, the design field etc, behind it are Asian.

As we know Mac copies most of its ideas from the Linux community. Take your minimize by going to the corners for example and alt+tab style thing in the other corner on a mac, thats based on Compiz on linux. It’s free. Macs pricey. Macs dont really live up to all people think they do. It’s just like fisher price computers. Pay more for less.
But, I do like this function and think it’s pretty handy. Microsoft do need to implement more unique ideas like this, but how many are really left. At the end of the day someone will always be copying someone with features like this. I do wonder and hope saying this I don’t spark some script-kiddie to create one, but couldn’t this really get annoying if some malicious code takes over and you end up with shaking windows. lol.
I’ve played with this on XP and although a bit messy it’s really bloody handy. Now, all we need is more virtual desktops. Looking forward to the next Beta release.
What a dumb feature.
Here are some features Microsoft could focus on for Windows 7:
Security
Faster with few resources
Stability
