I know this is not the place to chat about stuff like this but I just wanted to tell you and everyone else not to get their hopes up because pinch gesture is horrible on a touchpad. Just try it on W7. The resolution is too low, the touchpads are too small to do any useful pinching.
Only good things are: double finger scrolling, double finger clicks/taps, double finger pivot scrolling, as well as triple finger similar stuff. Ok let's not forget that we can't even configure some Synaptics and ALPS devices for basic things like sensitivity and enable disable while typing.
