QZoom is full screen zoom and operation tool like the one in Mac OS X. The animation such as YouTube expands, too and it is possible to see. QZoom can use for application demonstrations and presentations, Sight assistance, NetBook. Mouse scroll to zoom in or out.
It runs on my Windows 10 laptop.
It zooms using CTRL+scroll, which is like OSX, and better than having to press WIN++.
Cons
Zooming in and out is quite slow. I wouldn't say it slows the computer, just that the zooming itself is no where near as smooth as OSX.
When you're zoomed in, for some reason the computer beeps when I try to scroll up or down in a webpage.
When you're zoomed in and move the cursor, the whole window moves around. In OSX, the window moves when you reach the edge. I don't see any way to change this behaviour.
Summary
I think I'm just going to stick with WIN + +/-. That feature is much quicker and doesn't beep at you.
great zooming for screen cast and presentations

Pros
Works very well. Like the ability to start it from seldom-used keys. Can't beat the price! Uses minimum resources; does not overwhelm my ancient laptop.
Cons
Any way to throttle it back to powers of 1.25, 1.50,1.75, etc? Some times I need only a <little> help!
Summary
Being partially-sighted, I am already using a bigger monitor and a magnifying glass. Now, I need to pack only the laptop when travelling! THANK YOU!
it works! and works well on my winxp
KevinProv
Pros
The winxp answer to zooming on a Mac.
Works on any of my 3 displays.
All computer functions remain in tact, (unllike zoomit which lets you zoom and not do any thing else except look at it)
Cons
zooming with the scroll button is slow at times. i'll just be using the keyboard commands
Summary
Due to cnet's terrible search engine, this one appears low on the llist when searching "desktop zoom". Why google earth software lists first, i have no idea. Someone at cnet should look into this.
this program freezes on my computer

Summary
Seems to be easy to use.

Pros
You can click on the icon from the quick-launch bar and adjust this as you need it. If you are using a mouse with a scroll wheel you can rotate the scroll wheel to adjust the size of the magnification. Escape will send the window back to normal.
Cons
May be a slight blurring at large magnification but that would occur with most enlargements.
Summary
Should prove to be very useful as some of the print in some windows can be very small. I was looking for something to give me the magnification that I have on my Mac without having to jump through hoops and this is fine for my usage.
It's handy and easy to use.

Cons
The step of enlargement is too large.
Summary
A simple, easy to use application, but with the odd bug
Warby579
Pros
Does exactly what it says on the tin, It zooms in and out of your screen just like the Mac OSX one does
Cons
This is not good for slow computers, It slows down your computer immensly when you zoom. If you get stuck in the mess of not being able to zoom out, press escape. I found that out the hard way with my granddad's old thing.
Summary
Overall, this product could do with some more developing, but if you have a half-decent computer, and you don't mind the occasional bug, this is for you, like on my Vista PC, It sometimes stops the display when you zoom in, but it comes back when you zoom out . It does just what it says on the tin, It zooms your screen, and it does it very well, I think.
