    Hello!

    I bought an Magic Mouse (I love it!) and I was wondering if it´s possible to configure it on W7 like on Snow Leopard to use it as you want (multitouch for zooming, etc.). Any idea?

    Thanks and regards!

    Thanks, I knew about this (it works on my W7), but I was wondering about using it like on Mac. I mean, for example, pinch-zoom with two fingers, etc. There are apps on Mac for doing it. Is it possible on W7?

    Thanks!

    "But this is not an official update from Apple, rather it was done by hacking the Apple’s Bluetooth Update."

    That line alone should be enough to indicate that it will not function the same as in OSX.

    Yes, I understand that, but there are programs who are not officials and work perfectly in both SO. My question is if this can be one of that cases.

    Thanks and regards.

    Multi-touch features will not work in Windows, and Google doesn't reveal any additional software capable of enabling them.

    I haven't come across any... as much as people moan about the touchpad in Win7, it would probably be common knowledge fast if there was some available.
