What is this feature called and how do I use it? [Video]
At 1:28 the host of the product review demonstrates a feature he calls it "a macro view of all the apps you have open."
How do I do this?

A macro is a series of programming commands that are saved as an applet, which can then be called by using a hot key combination assigned to it.
I would imagine its main purpose with your particular touch mouse is to create gaming macros that can then be checked using the macro view function.
Obviously, you'll need to create a macro first to be able to use macro view.
In the video, the tutor explains how you can open three separate windows, which I would imagine is done by a macro written for this purpose. As I understand it, you invoke the macro view command by using three fingers to roll across the touch mouse to open the windows in macro view i.e. in view at the same time | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion Elite 495UK OS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-Bit CPU Intel Core i7 870 @ 2.93GHz Motherboard MSI 2A9C (CPU1) Memory 8Gb Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 664MHz Graphics Card nVidia GeForce GTX 460 1024MB dedicated RAM Sound Card Realtek HD Audio Monitor(s) Displays HP2310i Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Logitech K750 solar-powered keyboard Mouse Logitech Wireless M180 mouse PSU 460W Case HP Elite Cooling Air cooled Hard Drives 1x1954GB Hitachi HDS22020ALA 330 (RAID), 1x1954GB Hitachi External for backup and storage Internet Speed 2Mb Other Info Pure Avanti Flow Internet Radio with iPod Dock, 64Gb iPod, HP USB Speakers, Sony MDR-V500 Headphones, Sony Vaio F-Series Laptop |

Thank you for the input, but I'm not understanding what you posted.
All I want is to show all the open windows/applications on my screen at once. Just like what Is shown on the desktop screen at 1:28 - 1:33. | My System Specs | | |

Just use three fingers to lightly touch the mouse and run them up and down the surface of the mouse to view multiple windows in macro view or hide the windows and view the desktop. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion Elite 495UK OS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-Bit CPU Intel Core i7 870 @ 2.93GHz Motherboard MSI 2A9C (CPU1) Memory 8Gb Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 664MHz Graphics Card nVidia GeForce GTX 460 1024MB dedicated RAM Sound Card Realtek HD Audio Monitor(s) Displays HP2310i Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Logitech K750 solar-powered keyboard Mouse Logitech Wireless M180 mouse PSU 460W Case HP Elite Cooling Air cooled Hard Drives 1x1954GB Hitachi HDS22020ALA 330 (RAID), 1x1954GB Hitachi External for backup and storage Internet Speed 2Mb Other Info Pure Avanti Flow Internet Radio with iPod Dock, 64Gb iPod, HP USB Speakers, Sony MDR-V500 Headphones, Sony Vaio F-Series Laptop |

I should have already told you that I'm not using the Microsoft Touch Mouse. My bad.
Is this feature only available to those with the Touch Mouse? | My System Specs | | |
