In addition, you can apply a variety of visual effects and enhancements to that display.

I’ll get in now for the dozens of users who want to let people know that “windows has a magnifier” – yes it does (congrats for reading the manual), but not one like this.
You could try this for a few days – and then see if you are really as keen to return to the Microsoft version.
(Hint the Microsoft version will be there next week – but this Giveaway is only for 1 day)

Read about the Magnifier Pro Features
Many of these functions can be viewed in the animated Quick Tour
And Separate Manual can be downloaded here (200KB).
Wanted to have this since I saw the zoom shortcut on a mac. Ability to switch inbetween windowed and full screen zoom modes, which I like using during presentations and pixel editing for web graphics.
Something similar you can get free with your Windows operating system:
Start–>Programs–>Accessories–>Accessibility–>Magnifier
In addition, I believe there’s a freeware alternative to the offered giveaway.
