12 best touchscreen apps for Windows 7
The top programs taking advantage of touch in the new OS
7. ItzaBitza
Educational games are an obvious use for Windows Touch technology and ItzaBitza has quickly made this clever drawing tool for the under 5s. Kids can use the drawing recognition system to draw objects that then form part of the game.
8. Microsoft BlackBoard
A touchscreen app that's as good for science loving geeks as the developing minds of children. The BlackBoard application enables you to add gears and moving parts to the machine, and then make alterations using the natural power of your fingertips. Simply get the balloons and balls to the end of the machine using your fingers.
9. Microsoft Rebound
Rebound is a virtual air hockey table where you do battle with your computer or human opponents. Just use your fingers to play your opponent on the electrified court.

11. Microsoft Garden Pond
Ever wanted to use every single one of your fingers to navigate a bunch of origami boats across a treacherous garden pond? Of course you have! If anyone says that multi-touch won't revolutionise PC control, they've obviously never used Microsoft Garden Pond.
12. Microsoft Surface Globe
Putting the world at your fingertips, Microsoft Surface Globe uses Virtual Earth to give you a multi-touch mapping experience like Google Earth. Pinch to zoom into countries or navigate cities. Surface Globe is an extremely natural touchscreen experience.
