Would the surface pro pen replace a mouse

[dyson20]

there may be a fairly obvious to this but worth asking anyway. does the pen that come with surface pro work in any x86 application. the gripe most people have is that you cant use most existing x86 apps using touch screen because your finger is just too big. so is the pen that come with pro actually able to replace a mouse or is it only for certain apps.

pen tablets have been out since around 2000, without touch. So yes, they probably even have a button on it to right click.
