Kevin, I still think that OS is going to become a server-only issue invisible to 99.999% of people; the rest of us will use phone-sized devices and micropayment subscriptions to various applications to do most of what we need.
It's already started in Japan, fwiw. Kids with bluetooth phones walk up to a screen at school and hey presto, they've got a workstation. It's no wonder that PC sales are declining over there. 99%? Well, that might be a tad high. ;) But Crusty thinks you're generally right.
Most of the work I've been doing the last 6 months has been server based, so yes...
On the mention of PCs....I visited a company today where all the developers had Mac books. I am really behind the learning curve on that one...I honestly did not know that the Mac books could boot into a Microsoft OS (which shows you how little I've paid attention to them).
Of course, after watching the guys use their Mac books all day long, I found myself breaking the 10th commandment (thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's laptop....I guess it's good that my violations are evenly distributed....I gave #3 and #6 a good workout yesterday when I had to go through a random airport security check)
