But that can't honestly be so much hassle, as we don't need a full featured mouse handler, a simple one would be enough: leftclick, mouse move thats it. A font to render all the possible keyboardlayouts will take much more space and should be limited to the one the system uses+ a default one with "most used language" support. M$ has added a simple OSK on boot in it's bios, so you can select things in touchmode before the real os is running. Not very shiny, not perfect, but there if needed. A little bit better should "our" system be, but i don't expect complains, if it isn't a super smooth running system with cutting edge graphics ;) On the other hand, as android is capable of FDE, they must have made some importanted changes that can be of use here.
