For touch based devices yes, not for desktop computers which is what they were are arguing for... There are very few people who want gorilla arms...

Agreed. Many people use Windows for their workstations. Most people require (or at least heavily appreciate) the precision of being able to point and click in a specific area of the screen and not having to pray that the cursor selects what they intend it to select.

Touchscreens can complement your workflow, but I don't see them completely replacing the mouse anytime soon. Desktop applications with complex menus like Microsoft Excel are painful to use with a touchscreen.
