My parents bought a touchscreen desktop from I think HP. They, and my siblings, never use it. It is 99% mouse/keyboard. The only time it really gets touched is if I'm helping my mom around the new Word menus. (WTF why move everything around? Like @%$#%! Barco's projector menus, or Apple refusing to use VGA, the most widely used video input, so you always need an adapter.) And of course, I accidentally touch it and that messes up her mouse and where it was. NO help. Phones/tablets are really the only good places a touch-screen optimized interface is going to work well.

Actual desktop touchscreens, where the surface of the desk is the screen, might be interesting in certain applications, but how do you determine R/L clicks? Double taps? And what about scrolling? Good luck, just ask Samsung! Haha. And I can't see many gamers going with this, keyboard/mouse is how every game works. It'll need some brand new games designed for it, which is gonna be hard for many gamers to adapt.
