Microsoft is backing up as fast as a large company can from touch support on the base use case of Windows, and it wouldn't suprise me to see touch screens disappear from laptops soon (ignoring the laptop/tablet hybrids). The Windows base has made it clear they don't want Metro, and they aren't going to pay the extra for a touch screen they never use. The biggest shift that is coming is high DPI, that matters far more than touch. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
