I recently got a touch screen tablet/laptop thingee with windows 8.1. I can bid and play using it in tablet mode with no keyboard attached using my finger or the stylus that came with it. I don't know if it would have worked in windows 8, but I suspect it should have. I will write a review of the new tablet/laptop thingee perhaps in the next few days with emphasis on using it for online bridge but other things as well (for the record, it is a Surface Pro 3).

I don't really understand the OP. I have been using touchscreen to play on BBO for several months now, on a Windows machine.

BBO with touchscreen always worked in Windows 8.0 and Windows 81, right from the very first beta release. Much easier than using a mouse.
