I believe the GW staff said something on this issue quite some time back. I think I remember both Doug, in an interview, and Aaron, on this list, making statements about Window-Eyes running on the Surface in particular. It is on their list of things they would be investigating. I don't think it's necessary, in fact it would be a waste of their time to comment every time this topic comes up on the list. Rest assured they are reading these messages. Below please find an excerpt from a GW-Info message dated 09/06/2012. If you put Aaron's first comment together with his second comment, you will, I believe, get your answer. I'm sure this is at the top of their list, along with every other change that is suggested on this list.
Hi, Chris. Gesture support is definitely on our list.

Is touch support on the list of things to do. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
