in most GUI software the "interface" (mapping between model state, user
input and visual presentation) is the majority of the code. Changing the
interface isn't a detail, it's everything. Tablets have (a) no keyboard (b)
no concept of pointer motion without a drag (c) no concept of hover (d)
much less screen real estate (e) multitouch (in some cases, at least). that
is enough of a set of changes that any desktop application which took
advantage of some of the scale of a desktop system will likely need to be
reconceived fairly deeply.
