On the first point. You forget to mention Xeon, which is priced way higher. I think it use to be the case Intel top of the line CPU are priced around 700$ when they first come out. Now it is maybe 500-600. But Xeon will help the ASP.

On the second point. Because corporate market is dominant, an 'average user' is a corporate user. And the de facto OS is NT. When next NT comes out and IF it cause corporate America to upgrade, it will drive another round of system upgrade.

I agree with you on the lack of killer-apps but voice recognition can not be trivialized. There is no doubt that once realized it will drive the next tech revolution.
