My big question today is if we are aiming at a unified computing experience then why on earth does the launcher reverse
in desktop mode? In phone/tablet mode the dash button is at the bottom, in desktop it is at the top.
Uh, the Launcher reverses in phone mode. It's normal in desktop mode.
It's all about ergonomics. For people holding a small device in their hands and using fingers to interact it's easier
to have a common control at the bottom, but for people using a mouse and a non-touch display sitting on a desk in front
of them, Fitt's law puts that point at the top. Convergence means the software appears and reacts the right way for the
current configuration. Change the configuration, change the way the software appears and reacts.
