Universal UI... yeah right. Sounds like you want to be like Windows 8, which in my opinion sucks beyond belief on non-touchscreen computer. Keyboards and mouses aren't going away anytime soon. I recently bought a 3000 laptop with windows 8, but it didn't have a tough screen. While a Windows 8 UI may be great for tablets and smaller devices with a touch screen, it's really awkward on a mouse/KB interface. It sucked so bad, I returned the $3K laptop the very same day. I'm calling bullshit on see more your less clutter = better usability claim. It simply isn't true. I don't know exactly what you have in mind, but maybe you should give it more thought.
