I too am very disappointed that OS 2008 only seems to support a "thumbs mode" for browsing through the menus. I find the thumbs mode much less efficient for quickly browsing through the application lists, as you can often only see a small subset of apps on any particular menu and have to scroll to reveal the rest. I also never had any trouble using my fingers in place of the stylus in stylus mode. For all the talk about the glitzy new OS 2008 interface (oooh, transparency....oooh, movable applets) the basic outline of the gui hasn't really changed and the few changes I have spotted are not necessarily for the better.
