Although, like Vista, sometimes choices are made for us whether we like it or not.

I believe Desktop computers will be redefined, from the typically large and noisy PC Towers to the quiet and portable small 'box' style machines.

Laptops have their use, but unless a new design standard is adopted to allow easy installation of different parts, it will never take over, no matter how hard analysts stare at their beautifully boring bundles of paper.
