“Now this is something on which Microsoft has never worked on. Windows has never designed anything for touchscreen technology.”
This is patently wrong. Not only does MS already have touchscreen stuff for Win7 ( http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/archive/b/windows7/archive/2009/05/27/introducing-the-microsoft-touch-pack-for-windows-7.aspx ), but years ago they demoed working multitouch concept devices even before Apple did. And then there’s also Windows Mobile, and CE before that.
