Yes, the desktop is a thing of the past for youtube/facebook/news/casual gaming/light email. Tablets can handle these tasks (content consumption) imo much better than a desktop.
It is a completely different story for photoshop/maya/visual studio/solidworks/nx/matlab.... These programs are not designed for the type of mulch-touch input that tablets are able to excel at. XP is supported until 2014...
- wavephorm 15y agophotoshop/maya and other graphical tools can be repurposed without the Windows-style buttons and menus. Programming tools are already being ported to the web (cloud9 ide). Google Docs and Office 360 are already being targeted at replacing MS Office. In a few short years very few reasons to still use a Windows desktop UI will exist.
