Users need no more than 2 fingers to manipulate basic gesture features such as zoom, rotate the screen, give commands to applications, systems . on Windows 8. Even so, Microsoft still thinks that The use of gesture gestures with two fingers in some applications will be limited. To avoid such cases, the hardware of a Windows 8-based computer needs to take advantage of gestures with 5 fingers.

Microsoft managers said, "The reason we choose this direction is because of the feedback of the developers. They don't want to limit their creativity and want to use all the gestures, manipulate useful commands freely ".

Some types of touch screens used on Windows 7 computers may encounter some problems in user gesture recognition and surfing. Microsoft said it would solve the problems by updating the hardware drivers. However, this still depends a lot on its hardware manufacturing partners.
