I have a multitouch screen on my laptop, once you get over the "fuck this is awesome I'm playing spaceships with my fingers" you realize it's not all that viable. The click+drag menu didn't work for my screen and ctrl+tap to lock is annoying. Otherwise it's awesome.

I also play supcom and I don't think I would ever attempt to play that with a touchscreen.

It's nice to have and all but you will use mouse + keyboard for games. Windows software simply isn't designed for touchscreen use, it's a crude hack.

The eee slate I use has "flicks", so when you do a big swipe it does pg up/down for you. Just a hack rly.

Works great for angry birds in chrome ofc :)

fair enough, i did think it would be a bit difficult to do on a touch screen, still a decent price on that thing if you have an old monitor to trade in
