While I'm hardly a Windows hater (I was, for the most part, perfectly fine with Vista), Windows 7 has been extremely good for me. Good features, super stable.
As far as touchscreens go, when in a static situation I don't really have much interest. We have some here (to better emulate development for iPad/iPod) and nobody uses them outside of that niche, even though they could.
Dragging stuff around a 21" monitor is more annoying than you'd think and when you're doing pixel perfect stuff the precision is just awful. Admittedly that doesn't apply to most people it hasn't made me want one of my own.
As far as ergonomics go, I'll be stuck because no matter how good touchscreen gets, I am not going to type in a 250 page functional spec on either a virtual keyboard or a vertical screen. So the environment will still need to be keyboard-centric in its design.
But for a mobile device, cool.
