The iPhone is now the dominant mobile OS with a 69% market share. The iPad is the death knell of Windoze based netbooks and even many laptops. In fact, we are also probably nearing the life cycle of both Windows and OS X. Both of these operating systems are getting pretty long in the tooth. Essentially, the iPhone has become OS XI. Apple will continue to release new Macs and new versions of OS X for a few years, but I would not be surprised to see Macs slowly disappearing. Microsoft is going to have to stop thinking of itself as "Windows, Inc." and either come up with a total replacement or die. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor

Nor is it intended to be one. This thing is something else entirely. Your comment is like looking at an apple and saying it is not an orange, nor is it half one. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor
