Probably why the scroll bars are on the right. I imagine the scroll bars would 
drive me to distraction (well not quite, but they would be annoying) if they 
were intrusively placed on the left hand side of all my windows.

Also, think about when automatic scroll bars come on, like now when I write 
more than would fit in this composer window. On the left they would shift all 
the text across, which would look less than polished...

Just a few thoughts. As a left hander, I can see the logic behind the tablet 
PC issue, but personally, give me a wheel mouse any day.
