The problem of the real units comes basically from touch screens: The average finger just doesn't fit in a > 0.2inch button (average scrollbar).

Also: As far as I can tell: Users have the ability to change their DPI and its seems to be a 100% ignored in current Flash applications. I know that cm isn't correct but its better than nothing. yours Martin.
