Yes Tiz i found a few earlier for shortcuts to get to it.

I don't want to install an app to change Windows really.

Introducing the Leap Motion

Leap Motion represents an entirely new way to interact with your computers. It's more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a keyboard and more sensitive than a touchscreen. For the first time, you can control a computer in three dimensions with your natural hand and finger movements.

The Leap Motion works on Windows Vista/7/8 and Mac OS X, with Linux being on the agenda.

Well due to windows 7 key problems AGAIN, i have been forced into running windows 8

. So i have spent the last couple of hours installing any extra software i can find to make my windows 8 desktop as near to my windows 7 desktop as i can. I seem to be 50% there now. Time will tell if it lasts or i move to linux Mint for daily use and only use windows 8 for gaming when needed.

This is my present desktop with animated earth and gadgets

Lets hope you will be happy with Windows 8 this time, as apart from a few annoyances it isn't too bad and i hardly use the start screen and don't have a start menu. I also use Alt F4 to shutdown which is quicker.
