Win8 does implement fuzzy touch targeting (looking at the geometry of your entire finger contact region instead of a single point, and picking a best-match UI element) on the desktop. Office 2013 (desktop) also invested in a bunch of touch improvements. It hasn't been enough. (plus, they already tried this approach with touch on win7 and it didn't seem to be working - which, among other reasons, was why they changed tack for win8 in the first place.)
