What do people think is the better approach? Should we provide a responsive, interactive menu that works really well for computer users while providing a simpler, touch friendly menu for mobile users? Or should we provide a single interface that works for both and provides a consistent interface across all devices, but it dumbs down the gloss or functionality on the pc side?

Ideally, either your drop-down menu responds to clicks rather than hovers, in which case it works for both mouse and touch-based devices, or it works with both hover and clicks, with clicks setting the state in a more permanent manner, even when you stop hovering. In both these ideal cases, I believe you'll need javascript in addition to your CSS. I consider hover-only menus, which disappear when you stop hovering, to be a pain to use in any case.

It depends on the audience - if the market is the general public, then dumb it down as much as you can.
