Optimization for Windows 8/touchscreens?

[KingFu]

With the new wave of hybrid laptops, it gives a new opportunity for STS. Not sure if this has been suggested, but why not a release to support touchscreen laptops? Maybe release a Windows 8 app? That would give people with the Surface and other RT tablets capable of playing it as well. I was lucky enough to get my hands on one, and it would be great to use it as a tablet when playing AL. Sorry if this has been mentioned. Haven't really been on forums for a while now.

Feel free to call me dumb, but people actually like 8? I see 7 to 8 as a downgrade. No optical support, only Pro and Home, FULL SCREEN Start menu, forcing MS store on people, Media Center being a paid addon.

I ordered a 7 computer exactly the day before 8 launched, on purpose. We almost missed the deadline actually.

What's so great about 8? Just the touch screen stuff, and that's not enough for me.
