Surface Apps on Windows 7
I feel like an idiot for not realizing this sooner, but if you have the Surface touchpack for Win7, you can reference those Microsoft.Surface.Touchpack dlls in your Surface app, remove the regular Surface references and change the namespaces and voila, your Surface app runs on Win 7. How did I not know this sooner? That seems fairly awesome to me. Surface apps running on the 3m 10-touch capacitive screen are fantastic.
