Product Description:
Zooom provides users the ability to work with any application window using shortcuts for moving, resizing and zooming - which increases your productivity because it's much easier to focus on what you really want to be doing!
Instead of having to exactly pick out the grow-area (bottom right) of a window for example, you can resize any window by clicking anywhere inside it*.

Still doesn't work with all Office 2008 apps - Version: 2.2.5, 12/23/2008 10:53AM PST
spjones1--2008
Zooom is great -- when it works. Unfortunately, although it works perfectly in Safari, Firefox and finder windows, its compatibility is still spotty with Office 2008 apps. Here's a rundown from my tests:
Excel: Works perfectly.
PowerPoint: Works perfectly.
Entourage: Moves windows, but will not resize them.
Word: Neither moving nor resizing works.
I've seen nothing about this on Zooom's forums for several months, so maybe it's just me. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?
Excel: Works perfectly.
PowerPoint: Works perfectly.
Entourage: Moves windows, but will not resize them.
Word: Neither moving nor resizing works.

Also like Zooom very much. How did I live w/o it? (chorusing other feedback). Valuable the same way SideTrack is. Using OS X 10.5.1 on a PowerBook.
Zooom's way of using more of a gestural motion for resizing & moving windows w/o looking for a specific spot on a window w/ a mouse/trackpad will quickly pay for Zooom. Why? Because of less repetitive motion wear & tear on my body.
See freeware, WindowDragon, mentioned as an alternative. However I'm leery of haxies such as Unsanity's APE, which is required; haxies have sometimes created anomalies in my OS.
xPad: I can't resize docs by dragging the mouse inside the window; still have to grab the window's corner.
Oxford American Dictionary widget: Zooom isn't able to resize. Have to drag the corner of widget.
Works well w/ TextEdit, Finder, Safari, Firefox & VLC.
Safari: One of Zooom's default keyboard cmd, Cmd + Shift, interferes w/ Safari's keyboard command to open a link in new tab. So I had to change Zooom's default Move cmd in Prefs.
Photoshop CS: Can move images around w/ Zooom but when resizing window of opened image, window grows larger but image does not increase in size. Didn't take time to check if Zooom's keyboard resize cmd mirrored one of Photoshop's bazillion keyboard commands?

Well my problem has been that I live in MS Office. Probably about 40-50% of what I do on a computer is in Office. And Zooom, despite all the promises did not work in Office! Until now.
No promises in the release. It just works. Powerpoint and Excel are smooth. There's hesitation and hitches in Word, but it will work.
And, it's cheap.
I'm happy!!
