The PC Is Not Dead

Posted by Zonk on from the revolution-will-be-emailed dept.

Belle writes "Bill Gates has an op-ed in this morning's BW Online, in which he responds to the magazine's question Is the PC dead? with a resounding "No!" and argues that the most revolutionary years for personal computing are yet to come." From the article: "The result is that the personal computer has become far more than a cog in the machine of corporate computing -- it's an essential tool for every individual in the organization. Take the personal out of computing, and most companies would grind to a halt."

    I'm just waiting to see how many comments until someone pulls out all the Apple/OSX/Mac knee-jerk partyline stuff, and then everyone else either counters it or gives the already trumped excuse of "if only their hardware didn't cost so much..."

    etc

    (i'm a schnoock, i know ;))
