Being a software developer, I agree with this specific statement, but it's 
part of larger picture. The larger picture also include an SDK and API that 
isn't completely foreign to the Windows developer. Also, existing Windows 
code for GOOD applications becomes impossible to port the further you get 
away from established application models.

Until new display media is developed we're way past revolutionary change for 
the Desktop. If you disagree, mock up a presentation of your ideas and 
present them here.
