The End of the Desktop OS?

“It’s just a big iPod touch” is the new “less space than a nomad”. The Mac had a great run, but this is the end of the desktop OS.

I don’t generally agree with such grandiose statements on principle, but I tend to agree here—it feels like it is the beginning of the end for the desktop OS. Will I be typing updates on a desktop 5 years from now? Totally doubt it. For most folks, I’m sure this is going to be a great replacement for their desktop. For pixel geeks like me, we’ve got a bit of a wait ahead of us.
