I'm afraid the issue isn't all that clear. There's some confusion of terms going on in this whole discussion. Traditionally, when people hear "desktop version", they think: "the version that runs on desktop and laptop PC, as opposed to mobile devices like tablets and phones."

Based on this, we have the following: Windows UI | Desktop ================================+================ Tablet or phone : Affected | N/A Desktop or laptop: Affected | NOT affected
