Desktops are irrelevant? Other than a few things does any actual work happen on mobile devices?
I think it would be correct to say that present-day desktops are mature and stable and aren't rapidly changing because they fill a mature niche. Mobile does seem to have decimated the casual computing and much of the non-work-related computing niche, at least for non-technical people.
I wonder if there's an argument to be made that desktops should become more technical and power user oriented since that is now their niche.
