Re: [wlug] Canonical Launches Internet-of-Things Version of Ubuntu Core

One thing worth noting is that “universal OS” ≠ “universal UI”. Microsoft’s Windows 8 debacle should have laid to rest the question of whether you can come up with a common UI that works across touch and non-touch devices: you can’t.

Industry approach: turn all screens ever to be sold again into touchscreens. Problem solved. ;-) Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174
