Eee Is 1st Windows Laptop To Support Multi-Touch

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday April 18, 2008 @07:30PM from the still-playing-catch-up dept.

An anonymous reader writes "CNET UK has just put up its review of the Asus Eee PC 900 Win running Windows XP and discovered that it's the first Windows machine to support multi-touch, 'Better still, the mouse trackpad supports multi-touch gesture inputs — even in Windows XP. A pinching motion lets you zoom in on images, stretching lets you zoom out, and a two-finger vertical stroking motion allows you to scroll up and down through documents. MacBook Air and iPod touch users have enjoyed this feature for some time, but it's the first we've ever seen it implemented on a Windows laptop.'"

So main points for GTK3 development are: theming, canvas, animations, introspection and OS integration. Just fork Qt4, rename it to GTK3 and you can have all this even today. With great documentation as a bonus.
