Synaptics shows how to use your touchpad as a touchscreen on a windows 8 laptop

We heard a while back that Windows 8 would support multi-touch via the trackpad. Sure, there is some stuff you can do right now, but the promise made by Microsoft and Synaptics has been deferred for the most part. But they have put up a video that shows just how you can expect to interact with Windows 8 and Metro using a multi-touch trackpad.

The concept is called Synaptics Gesture Suite (SGS) and works surprisingly well for some gestures switching between app with a horizontal swipe, docking apps to the screen, using tabs in Internet Explorer all seem highly usable and cool.
