I think web based is the future, but it's one they're gonna have to drag me
in to kicking and screaming. Desktops can't ever really go away, but I
think the market is strongly pushing the common people back into "content
consumption devices" and the PC market will eventually shrink back towards
what it used to be. The domain of nerds and people using them for real
work.  That said.. occasionally I want to browse or edit while I just have
a tablet.
