    People need desktops/laptops, and we need an operating system for that.

It makes me crazy everytime a tech journalist points to tablet adoption and slower PC sales as evidence that we are headed to a tablet-only world. Yes, a large portion of the population are strictly consumers, and these people have been using devices that gave them the option to create. Of course, when you remove the option to create and lower the price, these people will change platforms. However, there always will remain a population of those that create, and for these people, a platform that enables it will always be essential.
