One of teh markets that a tablet works in.
The powers what are have been tryking to sell the tablets as a complete replacement for the desktop.
Which you and I both know is a nonsale as there are things that only a full sized full power wattage hog can do.
Threatened someone once with a copy of OS/2.
They didn’t know what it was.
One of my happiest jobs was as a Technical Editor for a start-up magazine that focused on the 32-bit personal workstation. This was back when the 80386 was a brand, spanking new chip. I had to run performance tests on three operating systems to appeal to the kinds of techies who would know what a personal workstation was.
When the magazine launched, we tested MS-DOS with DOS Extenders (to allow applications to use the RAM above 640K), SCO Xenix, and OS/2. SCO came out with UNIX shortly thereafter and we made the switch.
For those of you too young to remember (but techie enough to care), Xenix and OS/2 were 16-bit operating systems. UNIX was 32-bit. DOS Extenders worked with true 32-bit applications.
Microsoft had the temerity to write us a letter stating it was unfair to test OS/2 against Unix because the technology didn't match. We published the letter, along with the response that we were simply testing the best the user could buy, not trying to keep the playing field level. When discussing the letter our Editor-in-Chief said, "I bet OS/2 is simply smashing against CP/M."
Anyway, we had the Microsoft compiler folks talk with us, and the Microsoft OS folks talk with us. These were separate meetings. We asked each group when they thought they would support 32-bit systems. They both gave different answers. The OS group thought they would get there first.
That's when I stopped worrying that Microsoft would take over the world.
