If you're building apps for the Windows Store, there's good guidance available on touch interaction design on the Windows Store developer center. There's also some guidance available for building touch-friendly sites in Internet Explorer 10. One interesting piece of that discussion is the –ms-touch-action CSS property, which defines the default behavior for the browser's response to touch. If you're a developer, it's easy enough to add an appropriate CSS style rule to prevent double-tap-zoom on the canvas element in your game, like so:
