Desktop will always be here

If Microsoft and Apple have their way, desktops will only be for developers and "professionals". The mobile transition allows them to fix the bug that users can install software that interferes with their business plans, and without giving them a cut.

Well goody for them. As a professional developer I'd like my OS without a start menu that takes up the entire screen, thanks.

Oh who am I kidding, my Windows OS is a games launcher and web browser these days, and nothing more. I don't mind how retarded Microsoft and Apple want to get, what concerns me is Canonical and their "me too" attitude with regard to stupid design decisions.
