We LOVE our iPad and iPhones. Never have any problems with 'em. I love products that simply work the way they're supposed to...
I have operated all windows systems, since day “one”...win7 is robust, takes a licken, but keeps on tickin....can’t think what would be a better system....

What we are seeing is the specialization of the computer user.
It used to be one size fits all. If you wanted to game, or web surf, or work on a computer you bought pretty much the same machine as everyone else. You might get a slightly better processor, or more memory, or a bigger hard drive, but it was all variations of the same basic hardware.
Enter the laptop and computer users became divided between those who were mobile (sort of) and those who were not.
A large number of computer users never use a spreadsheet, rarely use a word processor, and wouldn’t know a line of code if it bit them. These users primarily surf the web, email, and play (simple) games. A low powered portable computer with only rudimentary input needed is perfect for them.
Add to that number the users who toil away at expensive workstations all day (c’est moi) and just want something simple at home to recreate with, and you see why tablets are taking over.
I wouldn’t take a laptop to a football game, but I do take my tablet. I can record video, check the scores of other games, tweet/text/facebook/email my friends all on a very portable device that I don’t have to put on my reading glasses to use.
Well I’m not driving 12 miles down the road to get internet service on no stinking Tablet. There will always be a market for PC’s until high speed internet service comes in over the power lines to people’s homes.
I love threads about Windows 8. They bring out “Road Rage” on the information highway. LOL
Rumor: Microsoft Bringing Back the Start Button With Windows Blue
