  • @lockergnome did the beta win7 had shake to minimize feature?

  • I'm using windows 7 since its beta version has been released.

    now i'm getting boring with this windows 7. gonna switch to mac soon.

  • I use windows 7 sence it came out. And I use this feature constantly.

    Once friend give me his computer that still has xp windows to fix some stuf install few programs....and I find myself draging windows to the side and top and I was like ah shit I keep forgeting this wont work with XP windows :)))

  • You have some really interesting stuff on your channel .. I'll try to come by as often as I can :) ... Thanks again

  • Dude .. I've been using Windows 7 for almost a year Now and I Never figured that out .. Thanks a lot :)

    BTY .. I like Your Monitor

  • Yes I agree. who wants to have their arms raised like that hahaha.. stupid.

    THis monk is trying to make things complicated.

  • imo, touch screens are not for me, im my life there 100% compleatly useless, but i got one any way,makes my friends mad =p nerds ftw

  • imo, touch screens are not for me, im my life there 100% compleatly useless, but i got one any way,makes my friends mad =p

  • How do you play games with a touchscreen?

  • When I first started watching Chris' videos, I thought he was just a nerdy geek talking about tech stuff. But then I watched more and more and you know what, he IS just a nerdy geek talking about tech stuff but his enthusiasm and commitment to his passion actually comes across and makes it interesting. What's more he's still doing it after all this time, you have to admire consistancy, he's done some good videos about some interesting topics. Keep up the good work, Chris.

  • @leatwix shutup

  • @ilil100 You see, this is why Chris rocks because just saying "shutup" is a way of giving in. Chris doesn't give in. He's a nerdy geek and damn proud of it, and his enthusiasm is infectious.

  • @leatwix Wow you replied after an 8 month comment. Jeezuz

  • For proper operating with touchscreen you do not put it as normal monitor on the desk - it has to be lower and you should be able to look down. Guy on the video is miniature in comparison to this monitor. I bet he has neck pain all the time :)

  • haha look at the left corner at the bottom it says this This copy of Windows is not genuine ( on the screen )

  • shake the window it will minimize the rest of them

  • Hey that's cool! I did not know that you could double click the title bar. Also, did you know that if you put the cursor in the spot were it can resize the window, and drag the window to the top it will resize the window so it fills up the screen length wise, but not resize it width wise. Cool video Chris.

  • hmmm you need to work on your camera work... it's hard to see the screen from the side, and the focus sucks.

  • You should go to the gym to be super geek :D

    Joking...

    Anyway, got my hands on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and I have to say it's awesome. Probably better than XP if you ask me.

    Sometimes, I just wana play with the new features instead of playing the games I have :P

  • i hate you

  • windows + left/windows + right to dock/undock

    windows + tab for an alternate tab through aps

    windows + up to max

    windows + down to min

  • @Epicskillzz hey look a troll! lets make fun of him!

    well lets see...its more efficient to start with...that should be a good enough reason..

  • dayummm that is a huge freakin screen!!!!

  • wow is tach screen

  • stop bragging about your monitor!

  • One problem with the half screen window thing is that it doesn't work on dual screen... Well it does but only on the far side of each screen (not the two touching sides) which is annoying.

  • you can use the windows key + left/right, works fine for my dual screen setup

  • @xwcg Wow thats cool! I did not know that. Also Windows key + down = Minimize the window. And Windows Key + up = Maximize Window. Cool.

  • Just think after a couple of years of greasy finger marks on that touch screen Yuck. I think I'll just stick with my old fashioned mouse.

  • Just take 1 minute every now and then to wipe the screen clean... I do that with my normal screens once a week anyway....

  • Well, I just think having kids around the house and sometimes adults that never wash their hands , I can only imagine how the screen will look in a couple of years LOL .. I'll just stick to my out of date mouse, at least I know the screen will not get smudged with fingerprints and smears .

  • Also that, but on big screens, well, starting from 15inch actually, using drag and drop is more difficult than moving your mose, and also less precise. Don't know why this dude wants to use it on a 35 inch screen, just imagine doing that all day ...

  • Wash your hands before using it. Or simply just clean the screen now and again.

  • That's why you wipe your screen down regularly. Just like i clean my keyboard and mouse regularly.

  • i got the rtm verison now its so good best windows o.s ever

  • can somone but a llink in heere for it?!

  • Comment removed

  • They should make Explorer good

  • yeah make it more like finder

  • It'll never happen.

  • it's official, not running GNU / Linux equals being lame, just so you all know

  • phew, thanks!

  • why

  • That monitor can't be good for his eyes...

  • NIce, I think I will download windows 7

  • do it fast it ends soon

  • Email me if you are interested in a patch to remove the expiry date on the beta version mate! Good luck! Much faster than vista!

  • Does this screen have more resolution then an lg scarlet 32" hdready? I´ve just bought one and I am kinda happy. I will try windows 7 today.

  • it much better to use the cube and flick from 1 desktop to another,for as much room as you like. I like 4 desktops, can have 32...... what 7 only has 1....... no cube..........OH ......... i will stay with Linux then

  • The art is how Windows allows you to have everything on 1 desktop easily and manageable. I find it annoying and confusing having to use multiple screens on Linux.

  • ^ And why as a an APPLE fanboy a you seem to be you want to run Windows also if it is shityy with bootcamp I sense a false insecurity in your Mac, have you finally caught up with $teve Jobs monopoly and how closed and limited is your OS? Everything you can do on OSX I can do better on Windows :P

  • u talk no sense....

  • do u really hate him that bad for u to send this comment. Why do people do that crap. They go on a video they hate and talk crap. Tell you what. Go to his face. and tell him. let see if u got the balls

  • LMAO

  • My keyboard fucked up when I posted this so it came out a bit out of order here's fixed up for all the APPLE fanboys/girls . "And why as an APPLE fanboy you seem to want to run Windows with bootcamp and call it shitty at the same time, have you finally caught up with $teve Jobs monopoly and how close and limited is your O$X? Everything you can do on O$X I can do better on Windows! :P "

  • running the rc1 of 7 I can say its "better" then vista as soon as I got vista i put xp back on my machine. I still think they wrecked the file structure in many ways.

    I still like the xp layout much easier to navigate, but I surpose I cant live in the past I will have to follow microsofts horrid improvement? not thats its all bad i do like a lot of the things you can do and how stable it is, just not the layout.

  • vista is shit, but niether xp or 7 look as good its a lot nicer looking which iss why im sticking with it untill 7's out with a theme to change the awfull one theyve made

  • the only thing im gonna hate about windows 7 with the window management, is sometimes I like to move my windows off-screen to get more room....oh well can't do that now if Im gonna get win7

  • what exactly do you mean? you can still drag windows off the screen. the snap feature only works when you drag it completely off the screen, but you can move it a centimeter back in and it will remain there almost entirely off the screen. if this still isn't enough room, i recommend deskspace 3D for multiple desktops. with that running, you can literally drag your windows off-screen, and onto a different screen!

  • it only pulls your window to half screen when the mouse hits the side, so you can still drag your windows off the screen as long as u dont hit the mouse on the side.

  • that's smexy.

  • I'm a windows lover,

    I'm not a rocket scientist,

    But im not a fucking idiot either,

    I can see ubuntu is going too end up the top system out of mac and ubuntu but windows will most likely conquer over it for atleast 5 hours

  • Why don't they just update Windows XP instead of alway coming out with all these new Operating Systems? From what I understand XP is the most stable and reliable.

    There is no way I would "upgrade" (downgrade??) to Vista... I'm not sure all the programs I have installed on my computer would run smoothly with.

    I also have my doubts about Window 7... Who the fuck wants to touch their screen??? Is that supposed to be cool or something. It seems more like a pain in the ass.

  • Ubuntu drags to maximize

  • NOOB, almost having cuming off the tab features.

    UBUNTU PWNS

  • obvious m$soft has been working on this for a while...way before appke brought that shit to the itouch

  • Fucking GEEK!

  • OMG I bet half of the bad comments are from APPLE fanboys, running OSX, having the iPhone and iPod touch cause ones a phone and the other an iPod. Anyway I bet that if Apple were to come out with this you will see all the fanboys peeing in their pants and worshipping Steve Jobs for inventing touch screen computing LOL . All the apple fanboys if you dont like Windows dont trash it go back to Steve Jobs and beg him to innovate touchscreen Mac!

  • Thank you - once again OS X lags behind Windows in not only this touch screen functionality but also in the area of multi threading, and various other features that are new in Snow Leopard. It will only run on the new Intel Macs and is 64 bit only BTW - millions of Power PC users are seriously SOL. Windows 7 on the other hand runs great on older Pentium 4 systems and comes with a 32 bit version as well.

  • that's great if your one of those people that says oh look it has a touch screen so I'm going to buy it......wtf does this do for PC gaming....more Cod crashes as previously on vista

  • This is a great feature but Nvida has software that allows you to create a gird on ea monitor. This is AWESOME. wish i could post a picture, if you have multiple monitors and nvida cards this option is under nview properties, you can maximize to ea section of grid, its great

  • HA......reminds me of StarTrek...

  • THATS WHY THE CREATED TABS!!! so you dont have to have 2 windows open! pointless new feature.

  • thats for internet noob. if you have internet and word open theres no tabs

  • lol if u do have all that shit u want such as word and internet, just right click task bar, and align in cascade or vertically, lol noob, and again pointless new feature.

  • Actually, It's not. Lets say your new at Photoshop and you have Photoshop open and an Internet window open (containing a tutorial). This is much easier because it lets you look at them at the samet ime.

  • but could you not just resize them both, to fit the screen?

  • bloody hell! i've been using windows for 10 years and i never noticed that.

    It seems that vista and 7 have some bloated features of xp then...good ol XP.

  • i dont see why anyone would have a touchscreen monitor. totally useless unless you dont use it often

  • Touchscreen :/

    Who wants to have their arms raised like that to operate their systems? Dirties up the monitor nicely too. Useless imo.

  • you are really noob...why have touch screen in IPOD, fucker?

  • who said he has an ipod touch/iphone? obviously he wudnt buy it seeing that his opinion is that its useless. OFMG YOURE AN IDIOT LOLOLOLRORLFORLFORLFORLF

  • i agree =)

  • It's an option for those that want or need it. A keyboard and mouse will work also.

  • @omgwtfbbqalekx thats what steve jobs said when asked about touchscreen macs

  • can i have your PC??

    please

  • Can someone explain to me why they would:

    1) CLICK 2) HOLD 3) DRAG 4)RELEASE

    to maximize the screen instead of just

    1.) CLICK MAXIMIZE

    and be done with it?

    This is not innovation. It is fluff. I'm all for multiple methods and options, but c'mon now... It would have made more sense if we "always" had to drag our windows to the sides to maximize and then finally they figured out to add a button for one click!

  • Well, I don't know about the dragging. It might be useful for touchscreens. But I'm used to doubleclick the title bar to maximize a window, and I find it better than using the button simply because the area is way bigger, it's easier/faster to do.

    But again, that's not the same as dragging.

    As for the tiling windows, you can't do that today without a bit of effort.

  • that's cool =D

  • I disagree. I've used Mac OSX, Linux Ubuntu, and just about every version of Windows and I find Windows fits me best.

  • @FoodGzus Totally agree with you dude :D

  • And your wallet empty....sigh

  • multitouch dude that a big thing in windows 7

  • i dunno what they call it and i forgot. and it's the strain and pain dude. am sure you experienced that too? i did and it was painful really. and my doctor told me to lower my monitor according to most suggested height. i dunno but, some people do get that pain...

  • is MS is way to late or is it just me?, ubuntu (linux) had the drag the window to the top since compiz came out...

  • shake a window like internet explorer if you have other folders, documents, pictures open.

    just shake it its called "aero shake"

  • i am not a mac fan or a pc fan, i just find this a bit gimmicky...

  • just today, i tried and found some odd windows 7 beta functions that needs attention. GRAB a window, let's say "My Computer" then THROW it out of the screen and you'll end up in a PANIC or PISSED hehehe. and whenever you open it up, the minimized button is in the taskbar but the "My Computer" window is not there! what i did to restore was, mouse over the TASKBAR and right-clicked the mini opened window and selected MOVE while holding the SHIFT button and then ARROWS up, down, right, left. WEIRD.

  • oh, btw, for the windows 7 beta users checkout SPACES in mac too. see which is better. but i still prefer the mac's SPACES. awesome and it's quicker and ASSIGNABLE too ^_^

  • hey chris...i think it's better to lower that huge monitor of yours, let's say belly height and slant a li'l bit. with that present position it can get painful moving your arms like that...just concern really ^_^ keep up the goodz n keep it comin' eh cheers!!! ^_^

  • aint the codition you get from doing that called gorilla arms or summit like that?

  • i got the beta of this windows 7 ultimate and it's really nice and it's faster and better than xp and vista. but get the updates to make sure everything works at this beta stage only ^_^ still many of it's features are somewhat copied from osx leopard? am not a mac fanboy, and i use 4 os's but, it seems that windows have a lot of features found in macs already years ahead. the graphics are really cool, but the appz and features as well as ease of use is what i'm after. anyone?

  • Why do people always make those open-ended statements about copying this and that without anything to back it up? Give some examples - name the features. The functionality of the new task bar for instance eliminates the need for expose, and spaces. Dashboard on the other hand is completely useless. ^_^

  • i got windows 7 ultimete

  • replace the physical keyboard its time to kick ass lol unless your on microsoft surface because that would seem easier to type on that because its flat lol

  • Going to Touch is like using a trackpad except BIGGER lol because i used to use mouse and now im always on a laptop it took my a while to get used to the trackpad thing but i finally did and now i much faster on a trackpad than i will ever be on a mouse because of just getting used to it changing to a touch screen will be the same once you get used to the right feel of a windows touchscreen or mac if you have it modified lol you will find it faster than it has ever been but if they try to

  • 0:06 thats what ryu said

  • check out my windows 7 videos

  • windows vista and 7 have WINDOWS CLASSIC THEME? like win98

  • Touch screen is cool only for really small devices (iPhone) or really big devices (CNN election digital blackboard).

    I'm not gonna sit there and play finger games with my PC when I can just point and click.

    Plus, how do you RIGHT CLICK with your fingers?

  • i agree TruthandJustice101

  • You use both fingers.

    Touch the screen with one, then tap with another.

  • you just press and hold for a second...

  • i prefer old school style.. by using mouse only. feel damn tired if i have to move along monitor whole long day

  • What the fuck is with touch screens these days...all they do is make the screen dirty. Same with touch screen iphones etc. This whole video is redudant; the time difference between, for example, double clicking the top of the bar(the old way) and dragging the window to the top of the screen (the new way) is negligible. I hope microsoft has spent time developing actual functionality and not just a few extra gimmicks like this.

  • touch screen only works if you're right next to the screen, like iPhone or a digital blackboard. Who the fuck is gonna be leaning over their desk all day to play finger games with their computer screen? NOT ME!

  • mouse is easier but touch would be cool but i would prefer to use mouse most of the time.

  • I'm not getting touch screen lol ... damn that looks gay

  • Or you could just resize them in XP.....

  • you need a special touch screen that costs 10000000000000$ right?not alot of people can afford this shit.

  • I wish that someday I have the Windows 7 but not the beta. Beta is only a testing,right?

  • touch screen ftl, way easier using the mouse

  • Jealousy!!!!! i can smell it.

  • im really not. loook how bad it is, take him like three tries to do anything, where as with a mouse its 99.9% accurate xD

    so yeah, ill stick wiv wiv 22" thanks :D

  • could just be a bug with the windows 7 code. Hopefully Microsoft will fix that

  • it's beta software - get a clue...

  • lol, i highly doubt it has anything to do with the code dude. if it is M$ have some serious work to do....

    and who wants to sit their with their hands at eye level for hours on end. its just not pratical...

    the only way i can see this working is as a table top appliance in bars and pubs ect.

  • Microsoft has a product that does something just like that, its called surface

  • ye i know and thats where it sould stay.

  • wtf dude its not jealousy!

    mouse is really more easy!

    see he tries to move the windows like 3 times and it doesnt moving!if he had a mouse he could move it right away without raising the hand.

    WINDOWS 7 SUCK.i dont feel like raising my hand up to the top of the screen just to move a window.i feel like sitting like a lazy guy and move my little mouse 3 millimeters up and make a simple click and open the program.this shit is not support DX 10 for sure!

    just a fucking big Iphone that's all!

  • They've tried to get rid of the mouse many times. This attempt is just as feeble.

  • finalmente esse cara gosto de alguma coisa microsoft

  • I'd say about 3 million people will sue Microsoft for getting a hand-injury... Mouse FTW...

  • Microsoft doesnt make the touch-screen - its made by HP.

  • they've been using this in Visual Basic Developer for years

  • sighhh... yeaaahh. That would be one service I would terminate faster than a cockroach. If you do this all the time you probably already have your own system, so you'd hate it anyways.

    As you said, fun to play with, but I doubt even I would keep that service running unless I had to.

  • dumb ...

  • Yeah it's hard to optimize all my windows to the right sizes.

    That's why I use multiple virtual desktops in Compiz.

    Each window gets its own desktop.

  • dude you totally need some rest man. your eyeballs are worn out.

    by the way, did you have Windows XP and Vista on your other computer?

    i guess you do i think.

  • You are losing your voice lol

  • why get a touch screen?

    Your arm would start to get tired.

  • imagine those sick headshots in Counter Strike lol

  • i couldnt imagine playing WOW and healing with this lol. i would have fingerprints all over the screen.

  • It took Microsoft this long to conceive this feature? LOL! These ideas have been floating around for years. I guess they waited to use them as a reason to buy a new OS.

  • so useless

  • Agreed

  • nerd

  • dickhead lol

  • To me you look like someone who spends all his money on computer shit

  • better than spending it on crack

  • I bet he's making tons of money with his video marketing and his website. Spending on his computer stuff is a small investment, he'd quadrapled up his investment in a week. Or maybe he got sponsored

  • Who needs a window whitch is maximized when it is pulled to the top of the screen?

    I dont see the sence?

    The new windows systems become more and more "fun-systems" whith trash noboody need to run a pc

  • i hate xp and vista and 7

    Windows 3.1,95,98,2000 forever

  • stupid user

  • old school :) but ... 2 years maybe and there are program that u cant use ( on windows:3.1,95,98,2000 ) ... maybe, ... i aint sure ;p

  • Jeez who's kid are you lol.

    Methinks daddy got junior a job cuz he didnt get it from raw talent ;)

  • I DONT CARE if I can play around with the windows like a 1st grader with finger paints. I want an OS that doesn't devour my friggin memory and hard drive, and I don't want an OS that needs ,10,000 patches just to run the programs that used to run perfectly fine before!!!

  • hmmm having a hard time using the touch screen mate?

  • windows 7 is better than vista so far from what I've tested (with a mouse and keyboard) I don't want to get my grubby hands on a nice screen. Download the beta before its too late.

  • My toaster is better than Vista.

  • or your pc is a piece of shit

  • Or use pbay

  • Right click on your taskbar and click Show Windows Side by Side. And then Undo Side by Side. This is an old feature made perhaps slightly more comfortable. What's the hype?

    People just don't know how the power of Windows...

  • The Tile Windows option on the WinXP Taskbar doesn't work that well. It'll tile every window you have open that's not minimized.

    And you only have one Undo Tile, so if you tile horizontally then vertically, you can go back to horizontal, not to the previous positions and dimensions.

  • Ooohh.. Tile windows is back. Now all the family is reunited. Cascade was back on Vista as "Flip 3D"...

    That is so not useful...
