I think it’s becoming pretty apparent to everyone that the PC as we know it will not be around. Reuters just reported that personal computer sales fell 14 percent in the first three months of 2013, the biggest decline in two decades. The pubic is favoring tablets. That also means that Microsoft Corp’s new Windows 8 system is not reaching its goals.

Total worldwide PC sales fell 14 percent to 76.3 million units in the first quarter, according to IDC. It was the fourth consecutive quarter of year-on-year declines.

Poor PC sales are being blamed on fading sales of netbooks and laptops. Consumers are spending more on tablets and smartphones.
