Indeed it looks like this is Windows 7 only, and unlike IE we do still want to support touchscreens on Windows 7 (a small but non-trivial fraction of our touchscreen users are still on Windows 7).  It looks like SM_DIGITIZER is false in these cases, so I think we can try looking at SM_MAXIMUMTOUCHES only when SM_DIGITIZER is true. Sound reasonable to you?

I'm not an expert with these APIs. I have a mail thread with the Windows team that builds these APIs asking for advice and any implications of the design you suggested. I'll let you know what I find out.
