Except for multi-touch. A friend made a passing comment to me once, probably back in the '95 days, about how if you had two mice you could grab opposite corners of a window to resize it. The concept of two pointers has stuck with me for all these years. So that's what I'd add to Windows: a second mouse.

I feel like we could probably emulate that functionality with a few well-placed modifier keys...some DEs already supports holding Alt and grabbing anywhere on the window to move it around. E.g., hold Window key/Super, click and drag in one of the four window quadrants to resize that corner?
