In corporate use, many users cannot add or update programs on their computers -- that is handled by the IT department. Yet there is no doubt that these computers are PCs. I can imagine iPads becoming quite popular in enterprise environments because the software is managed. No antivirus, 1 standard(s) web browser with no browser plugins to worry about, and no p2p applications. I'll concede that this is a different kind of computing than most consumers are used to, but I believe that many consumers will welcome a system that is safe, makes it easy to buy and update software, and which provides a consistent UI. Right now, Apple is preparing a Mac App Store. If, in a couple of years most Mac software will be distributed via the Mac App Store, I can imagine Apple building a feature into Mac OS X that will allow administrators to turn off access to the standard filesystem for certain types of users, making such setups virtually foolproof.
