    I don't see "drag-n-drop" a "natural" part of Windows at all
    Oh fine. The devil is in the details. Change it to "natural part of desktop applications" then.
    MacOS applications have their fair share of drag&drop mishaps so it's really a matter of the app. developer.

    As for "touch" as an extension of drag-n-drop, I meant it in the way that you can drag & drop with your finger as much as with the mouse. Even if the history of introduction is otherwise and the 2 are completely different input mediums, in terms of usage, apart from the addition of gestures, you pretty much still do the same things.
    "Tap with finger" = Click
    "Tap, hold and drag" = Drag & Drop

    Incidentally I dislike OSX and this game doesn't run in OSX anyway hence Windows 8 as example of support for touch devices. Not that I think people will play with touch devices, but someone might just come up with some inventive and productive way to play the game with them. And then things will change...
