Why would this signal the death of PC? If anything this is most closely related to the death of Windows Server, since a ton of application development is done via the web.
- valarauca1 12y ago"Signalling the Death of X" is a horrible term to use. Mainframes have been dead since the early 80's. Yet IBM maintained being relatively strong until only recently, surviving 30 years on a "Dead" platform.
