The Death Of The PC

Well, not quite yet. But among corporate customers, the future is beginning to look very uncertain.

Well, what goes around comes around.  How many thousands of “pc support” jobs will go away? It’s not just the software support jobs – what corporation will pay $20/hr for dozens of people to fix desktop pcs when a new one costs less than $200.  When your pc breaks, and they break very seldom these days, you’ll be told to walk down to the supply room and get a new one, plug it in and drink a cup of coffee while it connects to the server(s).

For many cube-rats, the worst of this is ABSOLUTE control over software and network access – sorry guys, no more surfing porn and playing fantasy sports.
