My favorite Wintel text editor already behaves like it uses a touch sensitive mouse. It's called Epsilon - sort of an Emacs for DOS. The mouse arrow appears when you move the mouse, and vanishes when you start typing. The drop down menus only show up when the arrow hits the top of the screen, and also vanish when typing. When I first saw this I thought "Hey, what a flipping good idea! I wish _all_ DOS programs did this." It looks like they will, once M$ forces us into another costly round of hardware/software upgrades.
