meh, unless you're blind you don't need this, all you need is some processing power devoted from some of those unused cores to make more animated visual acknowledgement of the touch interface, sound acknowledgement would be nice also.
haptic feedback is only needed for the blind.

realistically microsoft should be working on voice command instead of wasting time with irrelevant to non blind people tech.
