I realise touch screens are going to be a big part of our future, but I don't 
think we should makes sacrifices for keyboard/mouse interaction defaults 
because of a smaller audience.  Compromising to that level will only degrade 
the experience for both groups.  There are enough significant differences 
between the environments that we should consider a hardware-based profile.
