Multi touch track pad for windows

[Hades16x]

Well I have to give Apple credit. My buddy just bought a new MBP and since my Dell XPS is being serviced, I've been farting around with it. It's a very well designed product. I can honestly say the two negatives I have with it( and you all know them) is 1)lackluster gaming compatibility unless you are running Windows and not having buttons for the track pad.

With that being said, I'm considering one, once the funds are available. My favorite thing about the laptop is how easy it is to scroll through pages. Two fingers and pull down .

Ive done some light googleing but I really dont know what to type so I cant figure out what I'm looking for. I want to know if anyone has designed a software for Windows based computers that add track pad functionality like the MBP(MB too?) I see on Apple's site there is a download to increase functionality for older laptops, but I dont quite know if it will work on my XPS. Is that track pad not just software recognition, but also hardware recognition?

Any info would be awesome!

Thanks,
Michael

Yes, just like the iPhone, Multitouch gestures on the MacBook line are a mix of software and hardware interaction. The gestures won't work on your XPS, in part because Apple doesn't offer drivers for competing platforms.

As far as Windows-based alternatives, you're asking in the wrong forum.
