Windows 8 was totally designed around pushing the touch interface as iPad compete. The thought was that the ecosystem would move towards more direct manipulation in interfaces. This didn’t happen, but MS spent a lot of effort pushing laptop makers into adding touchscreens. Now that they have them, I’m not sure the price differential is high enough to avoid the stigma of a shorter bulleted list.
