Touch screen support in 9 Release

[Ben Paley]

Hello,

My employer is going to replace my aging laptop soon. We've always used Macs at work but I'd kinda like to get back to FreeBSD. His criteria are Windows 8 and a touch screen, mine is decent FreeBSD support.

So, what is the state of support for touch screens at the moment? Most if the information I can find is from four or five years ago, and I can't seem to find out what's going on now.

And, any recommendations for a machine? I'd be using it primarily for web development. 

Thanks for your help,
Ben
