At least part of the decline in PC sales is due to the increasing popularity of tablets - or so I hear. Last rumor I saw is that MS is thinking about bringing back the start button for 'Blue.' Poser is reputed to work well on Linux with WINE as are many other programs not to mention the free and paid apps for that platform and the Mac. Bottom line, I fail to understand all the angst when there are alternatives that would at least reduce one's dependency on a company and a product so clearly loathed. Instead of thinking up new ways to mangle the very name of said product, seems like the time spent could be put to more productive - if less gratifying use. I guess it's part of the 'I paid for it, I gotta right to complain' - endlessly - state of the world - still puzzles me though. No offense but my opinion either way.
