In Apple's footsteps, Microsoft to introduce their own touch mouse.
The mouse is the result of a Microsoft Research program dubbed "Mouse 2.0".
Great name, as in "We need our engineers to 'Mouse 2' Apple's web site and discover the hardware they'll make next."
I guess we'll see an Arc Trackpad in 2011.

Microsoft Instant Viewer: I Didn't Know They Had Apple's Exposé.
I wrote a few days ago that I'd bought a Microsoft Arc keyboard and mouse (highly recommended, by the way).

While most of the settings are identical to the standard stuff, I noticed an option for the buttons called "Instant Viewer". So I press the button and get the image above. It's just like Apple's Exposé (below).
For all I know Microsoft's had this feature for ages, but since I like Exposé I'll take it where I can get it on my Windows PCs. Sweet!
