Did we all just witness Windows start to die?

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.
MS has severely shot them selves in the foot with Windows 8.
I love my Amiga as much as anyone here, but I also have learned to get along with Windows (XP through 7 with Vista my current choice) and a nice big pc tower - still the best game machine in town!

My 16 year old grand daughter just received an HP "laptop" for her birthday. It had Windows 8 on it. After two days, that machine was gone.
If they can't talk the kids into this bomb, do you really think it will fly?
She is now happy again, with a nice powerful new Windows 7 tower. She likes games, and is a budding computer artist (quite good, I might add). If they can't convince the kids that the PC is dead, where will that go?
