Win32 apps suck at touch and always have. MS has had pen and then touch devices out via OEMs for over a decade. Trying to close a browser window via a 16px "x" is terrible on a 12" laptop; but on a phone? Your phone running full Win32 APIs probably isn't the great boon it'd otherwise be. Likewise Windows tablets have not gotten much traction in the past (or present) -- you simply must have a pen and most likely a Bluetooth keyboard to properly use them. I bought a few, tried to use them, gave them to people -- Android devices just blow them away. The real touch apps --- Metro -- are pretty terrible (slow, even MS's own Metro calc takes seconds to load.) And of course mean rewriting a lot of things.
