Windows 10 will include multi-finger gestures to access new features like the notification center, Cortana, and virtual desktops



From The Verge:

The new gestures include the ability to tap three fingers to activate Cortana, or tap four to bring up the notification center. Swiping three fingers up on the trackpad activates virtual desktops (Task View), and swiping three fingers down shows the desktop. Microsoft previously announced some last year, and the three-finger gestures activate a similar Mission Control (Exposé) feature in OS X. With the latest additions, and an increased focus on trackpad quality and gestures, it’s fair to say that Windows 10 laptops may finally rival Apple’s MacBook trackpad features with the exception of the new Force Touch Trackpad. Apple does let developers access the trackpad to build apps like BetterTouchTool so gestures are fully customizable, and we’ll have to wait and see if Microsoft has similar plans.
