Zooming in Windows

    In Ubuntu Linux Hardy Heron (which I have dual booting with XP Pro on my laptop), you can zoom in and out of the screen using the Windows/Super Key and the scroller wheel on the mouse - which I find incredibly handy.

    Was just wondering if anyone knew of any add-on available for Windows XP itself that would provide similar functionality...?

    Thanks in advance,

    Taskbar Magnifier just magnifies a portion of the screen in a window.

    That's close... I guess, but not the same effect I'm looking for - as is available in Ubuntu, where the entire screen can zoom in and out - as shown here and explained here.

    Hmmm, I haven't come across something like that for windows. I'm sure someone must have ripped it off done something similar.

    Scary video btw.
