> IE for example still does not support Touch Events, even on WP.

Yes they do. However, IE11 doesn't support Touch Events on desktop because there is already too much code out there that makes stupid assumptions about Touch Events implying a tablet or phone without a mouse. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2014/09/05/making-the-web...

MSIE 11 for mobile is still in developer preview mode, and hasn't been released. As for the desktop version, here's caniuse:http://caniuse.com/#feat=touch

I'm unaware that they released a desktop version where they enabled it, I'll have to look into it.

The version of IE with Touch Events (Windows Phone 8.1 Update) is no longer in preview. You can buy retail devices with it on it today, actually.

For the desktop version, see my recent blog post: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2015/02/24/pointer-events...
