2019.... bye bye Microsoft! LOL

Will normal users even care about a Windows PC/Laptop/Tablet/Covetable?

99% of the computers used at home are just for tasks that an iPad or Android tablet can do.

Before tablets I was always suggesting that home users pick an OS that was easy to manage and one that was not complex. I told them to buy a Mac...

Now that ChromeBooks, ChromeBoxes, iPads and Android tablets exist there is NO reason for ANYONE to buy a PC anymore. Sure businesses can because they have a LARGE amount of commercial software, in house custom software and PC management tools purchased to herd all those cats(PC's).

So what can PC do? Nothing but get replaced by something less complex and less expensive.

You could say Microsoft will die a death by 1,000 cuts, none of us who experienced the abuse from them will shed a tear....
