Win7 runs on a tablet very nicely. I've got a 1-2 year old model HP TX2 tablet convertible. Had it for about a year. It's a pretty cool gadget with a capacitive touchscreen. Runs a bit too hot and the battery life isn't spectacular. Both of those issues were fixed in the Intel Core solo-driven TM2.
Win7's touch support is very well baked in. At 125% DPI on a 12.1" 1280x800 screen, everything works pretty well. It has gesture support, pinch-zoom, etc.
Windows even automatically adjusts for touch by adding handy checkboxes to select multiple files at a time with the stylus in File Explorer. Lots of little things like that are in the OS already.
All you need for fast Win7 is a halfway decent processor, some RAM, and a snappy SSD. I doubt the Win7 skeptics have run it on a decent SSD. My wife's Toshiba resumes from sleep instantly on its SSD. My desktop runs super snappy on it. Makes a huge difference. Both computers boot in under ~45 seconds...and at 47 seconds, you can do whatever you want (no HDD thrashing).
