I have both a tablet and a smart phone. However, there are a lot of things I do
on a computer that I would not want to do on either of those devices. So, while
tablets and smart phones may take some things away from desktops, they certainly
won't kill them.

While Microsoft certainly wants to gain mobile traction, I suspect that even the
most misguided minds there know that killing the desktop would be one step short
of suicide. Their cash cow is Office, and enterprise use of Office is not
likely to suddenly go mobile.
The problem is in the statement "...there's method in Microsoft's
madness." Unfortunately, Microsoft is flailing, and there is no method. A
method is a path to a solution, but it requires knowledge of the problem.
Microsoft has shown in recent years that they do not understand the market, and
they have no clear path forward.
Sure fun to watch, though.... as long as you aren't on their sinking ship.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

that ms and apple have abandoned core business computing to
*nix. they won't say so directly, but the net effect of their
increasing focus on net-connected peripheral devices is
exactly that. linux won and nobody noticed.

48. The best book on programming for the layman is "alice in wonderland"; but
that's because it's the best book on anything for the layman.
