How about this:�

- Make Unity configurable enough so that it can be a great interface for small touchscreens, netbooks, and full-grown monitors

- Save these configuration changes as profiles ("Touchscreen", "Netbook/Laptop", "Desktop")

- Upon first run, have Unity detect the screen resolution and pointing devices (if any), and pick the right profile for that.
