SK: Ballmer is very perceptive - hardly bombastic. The pc/OS will always be with us as the data in must be manipulated to achieve the function out. The speed of the data in will increase so O/S will have to be able to keep pace with the increase of instructions and at the same time effect the desired outcome at the output side. The output side will be become quite complex as the cpu will be be required to run a variety of tasks simultaneously accomplished through wireless networks. The PC is not dead - the O/S is very much alive and growing; it will all just (as Ballmer says) look different. JFD
