Sorry, I should clarify that I'm talking about desktop systems here. I have no idea how good those UIs are on actual tablets; my beef with them is that putting a tablet UI on a desktop is just as much a bad idea as putting a desktop UI on a tablet. When I have a 1920x1080 display on a screen that's about a meter wide, running a single application is seldom what I want to do. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
