@tesseractive - Canonical has been working on multitouch in Ubuntu for a while now. Unity (the main Ubuntu desktop environment) was built for this very purpose. Canonical has been conceptualizing and building the environment for this very purpose - if you have a look at their current direction, they're trying to pull this same interface across desktops, TVs, phones and tablets. It still remains to be seen how well they do, but it has already made good progress.
