>I think you're right, thanks. FWIW, time goes by and the pendulum swings. We determined this year that 100% of the customer base for a certain need is using Windows with at least 2 and sometimes 3 screens. So Wine isn't relevant and while browser apps are cool, we've moved parts back to Windows where performance and great control over screen real estate are things we'd forgotten about in the exciting new era. ;-)

Actually there are things which were great, sold well and were widely used, but aren't done anymore because they're nearly impossible to do on them tiny screens with thick fingers. So they're near extinct, to the point where I can't even remember them off the top of my head.

The first one that crosses my mind is the rightclick. While I've noticed that a two finger tap works about the same, it's still clumsy - you first need to aim and then doubletap. And then you're not sure whether the app supports that. The next thing is the use of clipboard. Still not clear how that works and is it working at all.
