This series of articles (written in April 2008) is based on the IQ770 software. Are you commenting on the current version of the software (on the IQ500/IQ800 series)? What exactly makes it useless? Just the fact that it doesn't have dual touch? No piece of software can meet everybody's requirements 100%. There are always design goals, and those goals may not be useful to you or me, but they are to some subset of customers. If you're seeing crashes and hangs with the current version of the HP TouchSmart shell (2.8) and programs, you can always uninstall it (and the other HP TouchSmart programs), and you'll soon find out if it caused issues or not.

Since the functionality is tightly linked to the TouchSmart PC, you can only get it with the PC. Sorry, it’s not available for download standalone.
