> Some folks saw this coming! Turns out that now
other desktops are following suit to TabletLand,
> even windows 8 :( The traditional desktop is
apparently dying :(
and this is simply dumb
the count of smartphones/tablets may become higher
but his is only a number which does not matter
why?
because most of the smartphone/tablet users are using
a traditional computer too
because a tblaet NEVER can replace those thounsands of
workstations
out there where the users MUCH more doing than read mails
and look
at some websites
some developers are thinking "it's new, it's cool, the
others do not bother me"
well, they can do so
but this will nothing change in the fact that POWER-USERS
will always use
a classical desktop, that most computers in professional
environments will
always need keyboads and a classical desktop

I hear you :) I am with you, but sadly the desktop creators/maintainers/coders are going
with it :(
I even saw a guy on TV stating that there was no need for keyboards or mice anymore
I can't seem to find a video that illustrates this, but this is a similar
idea/technology:

In Windows 8 Preview, the desktop changes like for a tablet and one has to go to the
registry to enable the old desktop see:

All these changing in the ***blink*** of a eye!
