I look forward to websites dedicated to PC believers. Maybe a red (Windows 
versus blue (Windows 7) camps, both demanding new hardware for their aging OSs as the world moves on largely oblivious to them.
I like how you're no longer even pretending to make an argument, just snidely insisting that This Is How It Will Be because blind faith in the predictions of a bunch of tablet zealots. Don't stop believin', man! Hold on to that feelin'!
This garbage that the tablet is taking over is just that, garbage. HP has said they are not going to make ANY desktop pcs from now on - only tablets. Yet another great business decision from HP.
Wait, I thought they went back on that? (Because, you know, it was a stupid decision intended to "look decisive" by their CEO-of-the-month?) Or did they change their mind again?
Just as a side note. iPad sales have "fallen" 14% this qtr compared to last year. Is that the death knell of the iPad? I think not. But the news for PC sales is that they've "slumped" 10%. Note the "language" difference. Enjoy the tech media ride!
Traditional PC sales *are* declining, but I am more inclined to think that people simply aren't buying/replacing machines as often as they used to. The technology has slowed down. I used to build a new gaming PC every XMas. I now do it every 2-3 years, as there's simply no logic in spending many thousands of dollars for what will get me 10% FPS in games between the two difering older/newer machines.
Exactly. There's no evidence that PCs are being
used less, just
bought less (and even that's being played way the hell up.) But that doesn't fit with the death-of-the-PC narrative tablet zealots want to create, so it
can't be the case!
The ribbon interface is the epitome of horrific, terrible, badly thought out design. I wish death upon the person who thought it up, and their families. There is much hate here.
Amen.
