Microsoft Touch Pack For Windows 7 will not install on any machine with touch or not if you buy the retail version, as it was only rolled out with OEM software, and is to my mind beingh used by some retailers to sell the retail version, while most dont understand that it does not have the Touch Pack Included. Consumers should be very weary of anything that they hear from Microsoft in regards to Windows 7. Yes all the Tpuch features are really cool especially with the Acer T230H monitor, but even with this monitor being distributed through Europe monts ago Windows 7 does not have a driver to support it as acer got it up and running on Vista. Bottom line is if you want all the cool stuff that Microsoft have advertised like blackboard etc you will need to get an OEM version to have them untill Microsoft decide otherwise. The only real concern out there is that no one is actually telling the average consumer this and I have a bad taste in my mouth, finding out the hard hard way.

This conclusion is less paradoxical than it appears at first sight. ,

Increases will stem from greater production from mines; decreases from being used up in wear and tear, in industry, etc. ,

It’s a propeller attached to engine, not an entire plane :)

Where can I obtain the Touch Pack? Also, will it work on a HP tx1000 with Windows 7? The tx1000 supports touch, but not multitouch.

Will this work with homebrew multitouch surfaces or screens?

Install – yes. Work with non-touch hardware – no.

So does the Touch Pack install on a PC that doesn’t have touch hardware? That can be clearly bypassed by modifying the MSI. Do the apps & games work with non-touch hardware such as a mouse?
