| I believe Defcon only uses relative inputs, not absolute, so tablets/smartboards etc. won't work nicely with it. |

| Can I ask you to elaborate without sounding like a complete idiot? |

Sure! I just mean that when you move your mouse in Defcon, I believe the game only reads the movement of the mouse rather than the absolute position of it -- the in-game pointer doesn't care what pixel the pointing device is indicating, just the change in position from where it was before. As a result, pointing devices like tablets and smartboards which rely on indicating a specific position on screen don't work properly -- the game ignores where they're pointing, and only registers how they're moving.
(This is just hearsay, I haven't had a chance to try it on a tablet PC etc. myself) |

| Dunno about fullscreen mode, but in windowed mode, I'm pretty sure the ingame cursor just follows the regular mouse cursor, so tablets and touchscreens should work there. |

| Thanks. Be nice if multitouch was implemented. I mean it would be awesome if I could place two fingers onto the screen to zoom in and whatnot. |

| I can imagine the people through those windows weren't too happy. (If there were any there.) |
