Surface controls for Visual Studio 2012 and WPF under Net 4.5+

I am using Visual Studio 2012, Update 3. I have been using Visual Basic and WPF. My application targets Microsoft .Net 4.5 and runs on the desktop.

I want to adapt my program to run using touch on Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers.  I have done part of this work already, modifying my user controls to work well on a canvas with touch and mouse control.

Now I want to modify the way I use some of the basic controls, and while I am doing that I want them to respond to touch. These are controls such as the ListBox and the Radio buttons.  The surface 2.0 controls looked like the perfect answer, however it appears see they are meant to be used with Windows 7 and Net 4, per the prerequisites on the Surface SDK download page.  Also, when I installed the Surface SDK, the templates for a Surface application were not installed into VB 2012.

So is it true that there are no surface controls designed for VS 2012, Net 4.5 and WPF? If so, are there some under development at Microsoft? 

If I have interpreted the lack of surface controls, then I would need to use the existing touch capabilities in the existing WPF controls to bring touch into my application.  Is this correct?  

If am not sure this is the correct place to post this question.
