A while ago, I wrote about Some notes on multi-touch and Windows.
Today, Dell introduced the S2340T 23″ monitor with multi touch support, aimed at Windows 8. It surpasses the minimim requirement of 5 fingers:
It also features a multi-position, articulating stand, a 10-point touch and Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution.
This comes much closer to Microsoft Surface Table. Hopefully that SDK will fully support this monitor.

While fooling around with Microsoft Surface, you are astonished with the number of fingers it supports: 10 is no problem on the Samsung SUR40 which can also do full HD resolution (more specs here).
Not so with the standard Windows 7 touch support: that has only 2.
As I want to increase that to better mimic the development environment to the actual environment a few notes:

He also:
Anyway, his webinar is awesome. Be sure to get the slides, watch the replay, and read the questions follow up.
Watching it you’ll get a better understanding of defending against SQL injection.

Handy when working with Microsoft Surface: install your development environment on a separate VHD that you can boot as your physical machine (Microsoft Surface SDK does not like being run in a Virtual Machine):
If you accept the constraints described above, I propose the following procedure, which I think is the easiest way to install Windows 7 on a virtual disk in multi-boot
Note: Within the VHD you can still access all the files on your physical HD.
