I suspect they'll be putting all their bets on hand-held devices, set-
top boxes, that sort of thing - and no doubt relying on locking the big
names in the audio-visual industries into their platform through the use
of proprietary DRM software. 

Maybe it's the start of the downhill slope for the consumer desktop OS
and various server-side OS situations - but there's still plenty of
other markets left that they can screw up!

cheers

Jules
