eh... It would seem like a very strange decision to drop desktops altogether.
And by "desktops", does that also include laptop computers? I can't imagine
that not enough people would want those that Apple would decide to drop them.
There are still types of work that I think are easiest on that kind of device.
Also, I could see people adding a keyboard and a mouse to a tablet, and at that
point it becomes basically like a laptop anyway.
But then again, Apple has made decisions to drop things ahead of their time in
the past. The first iMac didn't have a floppy drive, at a time when people
still used floppies, and I was also surprised when Apple decided to remove
optical drives from their computers (and they never did even have blu-ray
drives).
