The PC is dead, MS is building buggy whips for the horse and carriage. The share of PCs that Win 8 owns is irrelevant; the share of phones and tablets is the key, and Win 8 has virtually no takers.
The future is Google Glass; with some improvement in the image projection, you will have a huge virtual screen, with voice recognition and camera based gesture recognition for the text entry and touchpad. For those are old school, a nice clicky bluetooth keyboard will do fine.
Ah, and this is also the death knell for the HDTV; the resizable image will appear as if you had a 100" HDTV if you want.
Don't think 2014; think 2016 or so on this one. Windows 10 is going to have piddly sales.
