I’m willing to give it a try. Actually, I’ll probably see it at work before I see it at home.

The fact is that the PC IS dying, but it will be a very slow & gradual death. Kind of like saying a healthy looking 60 year old is dying. People are doing more and more on tablets as they become increasingly capable. That trend will only accelerate. Windows 8 is MSFT trying to catch that wave.

IMO, portability and device synchronization are the biggest non-business selling points now. Many people fall into one of two categories. They either don't know or don't want to learn or they don't have time to learn something new (that's me). Right now Apple handles those two dynamics better than any other organization.

Freepers, I think, are for the most part smarter and more adaptable than the general public. They can manage portability and synchronization on their own and don't like being constrained by Apple products. They don't represent the majority of the general population though.

You may be correct that the PC is dying. Won't be in my lifetime though (I'm 55). Before that happens the baseline computing knowledge of the general population will have to increase substantially.

JMO. Thanks for yours.
