[/I]Vista  doesn't work poorly for me. In fact, it doesn't work significantly different then my other system that runs Win7.

I only run Windows virtually here at home and that seems to work
I do know at my work they spend considerable effort to switch from XP2 SP2 to Vista but in the end backtracked and stayed at XP as they could never get the Vista environment problem free.

typically much more restrictive than the keyboard bottleneck (rate of precision typing)

And then that is still not the fastest way to type. I do remember when live subtitliing was introduced on the Holland television. These people were trained to use a keyboard to input syllables and not single letters and also it was done by pressing combinations of keys at the same time.

There will likely be a significant number of desktops for a decade or two, but their ultimate demise is pretty much certain.

Like the car would lead to the demise of the bike, the television to the demise of the radio etc.
I think they will coexists or it will become a hybrid of both.
Take a tablet placed on a foot and handled by a bluetooth mouse and keyboard with a more conventional WIMP interface. Would that be a desktop machine or a tablet ? I would say it is both.
