Which is why we have a specific smartmobile view, designed for phones  
and tablets.

Saying that mouseover triggers should not be used in our full featured  
UI is a terrible assumption, however.  It is precisely these sort of  
features that make the full interface more usable and more useful.   
"Dumbing down" our full-featured interface to allow it to work on  
non-capable devices is a giant step backwards.

If you have a tablet, you have to understand its clunky UI  
limitations.  If you want to get real work done, no technology has yet  
surpassed a decent sized screen and a mouse.
