I have several pcs notebooks (work/home) along with my new aluminum macbook and other macs......going absolutely insane when web browsing on the PCs without multi-touch gestures.

I kept trying the two finger scrolling or swiping to move forward or back. I thought it was was broken until I realized that I can not do it on the PC I was using. I think I tried for 5 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong.

Just curious is anyone else had this happen to them.

Ya, say I tried to two finger scroll on my iPhone, felt pretty silly. I love the new multi-touch gestures on the macbook, 4 finger up and down is absolutely great, hot corners is no longer needed.
 
Yep same here
Had to search for something fast on the nearest laptop when i was walking around my office last week, found myself on a dell inspiron trying to do the 2 finger scroll. I felt out of place, found what I needed and gtfo back to my macbook.
 
Two finger scrolling should be mandatory in every laptop from now on...
My eee pc has it, and that's the only reason I'm keeping it.


I think what I keep doing on other laptops is actually two-finger tap (right click).
 
Almost broke an Acer trackpad by trying to click. Also tried to double click and scroll the same way I do on my Macbook... I felt dumb xD
 
Same here, I tend to do the same gestures on my work laptop and it's annoying that it doesn't work. :) AND the PC laptops small touchpad seem soooo outdated just by looking at it.
