Even so, altering basic navigation functions may not be a popular decision (e.g., MS Word ribbon).

So hundreds of users would need to be instructed in how to change the
default configuration? That's not the sort of thing I would normally advise.

I have a Windows 7 tablet and haven't encountered a setting to do that sort
of thing. However, I confess I haven't looked for it either... I just plug
in a mouse. If you know how to do that in Android, I'd like to know about
it.

Windows shouldn't care whether the cursor is being moved by a
touchscreen, touchpad, or mouse. If hovering over a link activates it,
you should be able to disable that somewhere and get standard popup
behavior.

it'll actuate the link. Rollovers (as far as I understand the term) are
hover-sensitive. When the mouse cursor is paused over them, something
happens. Like tooltips or info text on some web page forms.
