Well it looks like this download might be available soon for those of you with touch enabled PC’s. So what is the Windows 7 Touch Pack?
The Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7 is a collection of games and programs that you interact with using your fingers. To use these games and programs, you need either a laptop with a screen that supports multitouch or a desktop PC connected to a touchscreen that supports multitouch (including all-in-one PCs with touchscreens).
According to this description page here is what you will find in the package when it becomes available for download:
Microsoft Blackboard, an intricate game of physics in which you solve a puzzle by creating a fanciful machine on a blackboard. For more information, see Touch Pack: How to play Microsoft Blackboard.
Microsoft Garden Pond, a tranquil game that takes place in serene Japanese water gardens. For more information, see Touch Pack: How to play Microsoft Garden Pond.
Microsoft Rebound, a game in which you use your fingertips to move Tesla balls with an electrical field between them to catapult a metal game ball into your opponent’s goal. For more information, see Touch Pack: How to play Microsoft Rebound.
Microsoft Surface Globe, a program that you can use to explore the earth as a flat 2-D map or as an immersive 3-D experience. For more information, go to the Microsoft Surface Globe webpage.
Microsoft Surface Collage, a program that you can use to explore and interact with your photos and arrange them as a desktop background. For more information, go to the Microsoft Surface Collage webpage.
Microsoft Surface Lagoon, a screen saver and interactive water simulation, complete with a meditative rock arrangement and playful, shy fish. Use your fingers to manipulate the water and have the school of fish respond. For more information, go to the Microsoft Surface Lagoon webpage.
So I wonder if this package will work on my netbook that responds to some touch gestures via the touchpad?
