Well... Tablets are kind of changing that. We'll see in a couple years if students will insist on carrying their notebooks running Windows.

Even if they won't do that, they'll go to their lab to do the must-do assignments using MS Office for certain type of assignments.

A person close to me is currently taking Accounting courses and calculator + paper do not cut it. You need Excel.

No. You need a spreadsheet. Excel is just the most popular one, much like the 12C is the most popular business-oriented pocket calculator.
