MultiTouch

Windows Embedded Standard offers a completely new way to interact with your device. Use the Windows Touch API to create multitouch aware applications.

Touch Optimized

The interface of Windows Embedded Standard 7 has been optimized for touch input. You can easily scroll, pan, zoom with one or more fingures and by using gestures.
Also the taskbar comes with bigger icons to be better used by finger input. The jumplist can also be opened by a touch gesture.
You can use the Touch API to create multitouch aware applications very easy.
