With touchscreens on computers and laptops these days, I'm curious as which software you guys like that makes use of the multi-touch interface.

I use Windows, but will keep the discussion open to any touchscreen-enabled software on any desktop OSes (including MacOS, Linux, etc). I'm not adverse to using other platforms.

Let's not discuss mobile OSes such as Android, iOS, etc... since that's a whole other ballgame when it comes to the touchscreen interface.

Hmm, everyone keeping their apps a secret? Or is there no good touch-screen enabled apps worth sharing?

The only touch screens I work with at this point are not the fancy multi-touch ones, but simple mouse emulation overlays. They don't have high enough pointer resolution to use with normal applications.

The only apps that I work with are ones that I write for a vertical market and aren't any fun!

I see. The Microsoft Surface apps are pretty cool. But they're not productivity apps. Microsoft Word, Microsoft OneNote, Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Photoshop are great with a digitizer. Acrobat is also a great reader with the touch interface.

Chrome, Firefox and IE are all excellent with the touch screen. You can scroll, click links, resize really easily with the touchscreen.

I guess no one likes to discuss software since it's not a controversial topic.

The touch apps I deal with are all proprietary for my company and will never see light of day outside our Intranet.

My wife has an all-in-one with touch capability, but she mostly uses her mouse. She bought it that way. I, on the other hand, knew I'd not use touch much, if at all.
