The one window thing is something that I have been thinking about 
a lot as well, it seems to really simplify ui design and the loss 
is fairly small. I am not even sure it is a loss, fewer windows 
can be seen as a plus to a lot of people. Also like you said, it 
makes it much simpler for cross platform.

One thing that is often never mentioned is metro apps, which is 
again a one window design. A lot of people seem to dislike them, 
but I attribute it to growing pains. Using them with a touch 
screen is an absolute delight and once you get used to them the 
mouse it just as good.

Touch should not be thought of as a less important feature, and 
pen input as well for that matter. Any attempt to make an input 
framework later down the road should have strong support for 
touch and at least good support for pen, as well as mouse and 
keyboard.
