    It's been a LONG time since I looked up trackpad++. I heard that it now has 3- and 4-finger gestures.

    can anyone using the latest version tell me how similiar the trackpad experience is to Snow Leopard(NOT Lion, i haven't upgraded and i'm not sure if anything's changed)?

    I'm assuming theres 3-finger swipe to navigate backwards/forwards just like in OS X

    also, does it fix the BS issue where holding down the right-click automatically pops the context menu? I like to use gestures in my browsers and having the menu popup screws everything(this does NOT happen when using a mouse).

    EDIT: I have a fresh install of windows and i rather not add drivers to it if they turn out to be crap*, so if you could just help me instead of telling me to 'just try it,' that would be great :D thanks :)

    *sue me, I have OCD issues

    the glass trackpad works fine, but in 10.7, you may have to use bettertouchtool

    lion's trackpad gestures are crap
