While disappointing certain gesture support is absent, I’d agree, it seems like something they could still be working on. It is after all a Windows 8 oriented piece of hardware. Maybe they just don’t have it quite ready yet. At least this is what I hope. It could still turn out Microsoft misses this opportunity though. On another note, I find that scrolling is one of the only features necessary on a mouse. Since the nature of pinch to zoom is to put the image closer to your face, you will naturally (with a touch enabled Windows 8 device) simply touch the screen rather than depend on your mouse. You will naturally move your face closer regardless. If it is a tablet, you will naturally pick up the tablet. and nix the mouse/keyboard temporarily. I don’t see it as that detrimental if they don’t implement it, but it is still disappointing.
