If the slump in PC sales is due to the Great Unwashed Public's waking up to the fact that they don't need to replace their 800Mhz machine with a 1GHz+ machine, then bully for them. The hardware and software companies have sailed along very nicely for a while now by emphasizing unneeded features and raw power over usability, reliability, and overall quality. Perhaps now they'll worry about giving people products that they can and want to use, rather than obsessing over whether they should install rosewood or burled walnut paneling in the bathroom of their Gulfstream XIV.
