As far as I can see, touch events are not yet supported in IE: http://caniuse.com/#feat=touch

And also note that the posting on the webkit list is from 2012.

IE11 for Windows Phone supports Touch Events; IE11 for Windows desktop does not. (It's true that at the time of that email, neither did.)

The latest IE "tech preview" release supports Touch Events on all platforms, and so do Project Spartan preview builds.

It sounds like Microsoft just added support with an update to only mobile IE11 less than a year ago, which was a year and a half after Maciej's comment quoted by bsimpson that rbyers is responding to.
