Only that they'd be native widgets with the look of the native system (that's not to say you can't implement an editable text-pannel with the mouse language we all love). Also, as Forsyth points out, the set of widgets has to be rethought, = e.g., there should be a web widget. Then it's a matter of using those files from inferno, and remote = systems. But, as I said, I don't have a single line of code yet for all of this.
