In ten years this list will be as funny, as a list of applications that support mouse input would be today.
While I work on a multitouch-enabled Silverlight client for multitouch-apps.com, I’ll just maintain the list of multitouch software here. If you found other great apps, just leave a comment, or tweet to @multitouchapps.
List of Touch-enabled Software (both Games and Applications)

is there any way to get the source code of Microsoft Surface Collage?
Hm. I have no clue. Try to contact the surface team….
How can I move one image from one Grid/Canvas to another Grid/canvas (like Microsoft Surface Collage)? What type of method should I use?
Another great Silverlight Multi-Touch app is DeepZoom, works pretty much as you expect it.

Hey there buddy,
Just to inform you that AirHockey is available for download at http://blendables.com/files/folders/windows_7_air_hockey/entry714.aspx
you could now update your list and provide the download link…
P.S. I am the same guy who uploaded the video of AirHockey you have on the link
Does anyone have an alternative link to download that air hockey game? That site seems to be down.
One more multi-touch application is coming shortly. Did anyone thought of a text editor with multi-touch gestures? StNotepad Touch with multi-touch gestures for all text editing actions like cut, copy, paste, delete, space, backspace, enter, tab, undo, redo, select all etc… For more information visit http://stforms.net/stnotepad-touch/
Hi, StNotepad Touch has been released, try it by downloading from http://stforms.net/stnotepad-touch/download/ . Now its cost is only $1.99, I have already got its license. This software is amazing for my tablet pc.
Hey, came across this site that lists a few previously seen apps, but one new one to me.
http://www.kodyaz.com/touchscreen/windows-7-touch-screen-software.aspx
The new one to me was the Snowflake plugin for Win 7, which of course is limited on the preview version. Most that are usable are not bad, I am using the Touchsmart Tx2-1244CA with the N-Trig and find that games drop their objects. So some work is needed to tweak this up but overall a fairly robust assortment of apps.
And I’m waiting for a revamp of the various touchable desktops from HP etc – since Google appropriated Bumptop this area is sadly lacking.
Happy Holy Days, everyone
Have you found any multi-touch PDF readers?
There are some multitouch applications, like
EarthPlusPlus (with sea route navigation), bar, restorant, move and musik. For more information look into http://www.multi-touch-solution.com/
Hi there, I have a Acer touch screen all in one PC and i’m looking for the following touch screen apps,
I’m looking for a touch browser, social jogger for pc, photo gallery etc basically any good touch apps
@Andrew, you can use the current (as of now) Firefox web browser and follow the directions here to enable pinch zooming. It rocks on my Acer W500.
This game fully supports multitouch control, tested on acer ICONIA Tab W500 tablet:

So true. 4 years to go, though.
