ZoomIt - A Free Desktop Zoom Utility

I do a lot of presentation and being able to zoom my desktop is very helpful. Mac has the great utility built-in the OS. I have been searching for a similar application on the PC for sometime. Today I found one called ZoomIt at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/zoomit.mspx

It is quite nice. Apart from zooming, it also has a desktop drawing feature, and a timer display feature. All in a small download of 44K. Amazing. My only criticism is that it hides the cursor while in zoom mode. Hope it would improve further. But then it is free so I can’t really complaint :)

  1. Hi Brian - Long time no see. Interesting to see you talking about the Zoom capability of OS X and Windows equivilents becuse the other day I brought a new Microsoft mouse which has the software/drivers and special buttons built in to enable the zoom feature. Microsoft actually have a neat little range of Zoom/Magnifier enabled mice and keyboards (they even work with Macs ;-)) see:
