Microsoft Touch Pack now available to download
Microsoft’s Touch Pack for Windows 7 is now available for download to any compatible computer.
It was originally released in May 2009, but was only available to OEMs to preinstall on touchscreen devices. The suite can now be downloaded onto any PC with a multitouch screen.
The pack consists of a series of programs and games created to use the features of a touchscreen.

“If you have a Windows 7 PC or a multitouch monitor that supports Windows Touch in Windows 7, the Touch Pack for Windows 7 is a good way for you to be able to truly test the multitouch investments we’ve made in Windows 7,” Microsoft Windows Communications Manager Brandon LeBlanc said in a post on the Windows blog.
The available programs include Microsoft Surface Globe, which allows users to explore the earth as a "multitouch 3D experience", and Microsoft Surface Collage, a touch program for interacting with photos. Games include the Microsoft Blackboard and the Japanese-themed Garden Pond.
