PC Sales Are Flat-Lining
- Roboprog 14y agoAlmost nobody I know wants a Windows PC at home, it seems to be limited to corporate replacement of PCs now. We recently got an iPod touch at home, and the kids all seem to much prefer that to using the (linux) PCs we have. They also like my wife's Nook tablet, but the wifi is iffy on that one. RIP, Windows :-) No, it won't die. However, interesting discussion today at work in one high level meeting was to put Windows on servers in the data center, and allow other devices to access them remotely. In other words, relegate Windows to "legacy in the dungeon" status (just like an unloved but indispensable mainframe), accessed by a device acting as a terminal. Righteous!
