What's a mouse? My laptop has a trackpad right next where my palm goes and I bump it all the time when I type.

Still though, "Windows won" is a funny way to think about things at this point in time, I suspect. Tablets won, AFAICT, and Microsoft is struggling to get a foothold outside of the enterprise. Which, I uh probably shouldn't say this close to Redmond if I want to live a long life, but oh well. 

Thought experiment: since tablets won, should we throw out our mice? :)
