If there is a huge push toward tablet computing, developers will eventually get around to updating the UI to their softwares. Microsoft is leading the way though, that's why I think they're including the Ribbon in more and more of their programs. It's easier to touch than drop down menus of yesteryear (And more visually appealing to look at).
Some more programs, I use which you may not know about are Fishbowl for Facebook , which is touch enabled.
And *sigh* even Google Chrome has an addon that gives touch support to the browser.
Also, there is the Microsoft Touch pack, but those are more games than anything. Everything else included in the Windows OS does just fine with touch though, at least on my end (My fingers aren't too gigantic), I also have taken the time and enlarged some of the Explorer elements such as the titlebar buttons, and menu text to make those easier to touch as well. Otherwise my ASUS T101MT has a stylus included that allows me to manipulate the rest of the UI, and allows me to use digital ink (take that iPad!), which I believe is a big necessity in using a tablet device.
