   I think that ARM having eaten into its market in low power devices is   
   now swinging up towards an equal power performance solution.   
      
   And the trend away from customisable solutions towards pure consumer   
   crap, means its not important what  the OS actually is.   
      
   No, I don't think intel powered PCs are the future any more than I think   
   that Windows PCs are.   
      
   What we seem to be seeing is a consumer base that is delighted to have   
   Siri or whatever talk to someone else's cloud, share all their secret   
   life online and drip feed them with marketing propaganda, whilst tying   
   them in to rented software and a planned lifetime of a few years for the   
   latest 'shiny new thing'
