Microsoft introduces Touch Pack for Windows 7

Microsoft has prepared a Touch Pack for Windows 7, it's a collection of applications and games that show off the multi-touch features of the new operating system. Unfortunately, the pack isn't available for public download. It will initially be distributed to OEMs and more broadly availability may follow afterwards.
While touch is built into the “DNA” of Windows 7, something that was talked about in the Touching Windows 7 blog post on the E7 Blog, we thought it would be fun to give you some applications that show what’s possible with this new way to interact with your PC. The Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7 is a set of six multi-touch optimized applications and games that are designed to truly showcase the capabilities of Windows Touch in Windows 7. It consists of 3 casual games, and 3 Microsoft Surface applications that have been created for Windows 7.
