The "desktop" computer is gradually being moved aside (by the general public) and replaced by their phones, it looks like a long slow downhill ride for Microsoft and PC's in general, but they've got to keep trying. Just saw Microsoft is going to abandon their own browser foundation in Edge and use Chromium (Blink) as a base.
It may be a long slow downhill ride for Microsoft and PCs, but then I’d say it’s equally a long, slow, uphill climb for Apple and the iPad.
Not the point being made and you know it. It's about needing more than iOS which is extremely restricting. If you need Windows, (or any full OS for that matter), and have $400 bucks for a new machine, you're NOT going to buy an iPad.
Exactly this ... it’s about the vast majority of the world still running on Windows for business. Any child who is serious about preparing to be competitive in the professional world will be best equipped learning Windows at an early age. Not mac OS, and definitely NOT iOS. And that’s not likely to change for a very long time.
