I keep seeing people say over and over that tablets & desktops are *DIFFERENT*. I'm not really seeing it. The screen real estate is generally more than I had on my first serious PC, definitely more than I had on my first PC-compatible, and *WAY* more than I had on my TRS-80. The input methods are a bit different - but then, I'm one of those weirdos who kicked the on-screen keyboard out the door in favor of graffiti (even using a finger rather than a stylus, graffiti is a *MUCH* faster way of entering text for me.) Sure, on a tablet, the touchscreen orientation of the interface makes things a *bit* different, but it's hardly a major difference. I've seen full-sized desktops with touch screens - and yawned. I don't *need* some revolutionary new approach to desktops to work very effectively on a tablet.
