Got touch enabled Windows hardware? Get some goodies for it

There is a lot of talk about touch computing and while I am still not totally sure about it Microsoft has included support for multi-touch in Windows 7 and of course the well known (drool inspiring as well) Surface. The problem is that there isn’t a lot of goodies out there yet for Touch enabled Windows setups.

Back in May Microsoft did introduce a series of six applications that were designed specifically to showcase Windows Touch capabilities and as a way for people to learn how it works. Up until today however the 3 Surface applications and 3 casual games were only available for OEMs to put on new Windows 7 Touch capable systems.

Did I just say up until today?

Yup, you heard that right. If your system (which will obviously included a touch enabled monitor) is capable of supporting Touch you can grab the Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7 from its download page

Enjoy.
