You see, Microsoft is playing semantics. Every device is a 'PC' to them, including laptops, tablets and phones. That's how to push more people to upgrading to the latest Windows 10.

The traditional desktop PC market is languishing, so they're hoping that other form factors will help make up for the loss.

PC sales are falling because most people are replacing them with smartphones. I still use a desktop PC because of the bigger screen & I don't need the mobility when I am in Spore. However when I travel I'll bring along my iPad as my mobile PC.

Have tried an iPhone but prefer the iPad which has a larger screen.

I have been using every version of Microsoft OS, since its starting from DOS 1.0, to the GUI of IBM OS? (forgot the name), to Windows up to Win8....10 years back, I switched over to MAC OS & never looked back.

I had enough of the crashes that came with it....I still have the diskettes for DOS 1.0, in which I keep for nostalgia, along with Lotus 1.2.3. Version 1.0, was it Write Mate?....have lost that early version of Display Write....the forefather of Word Processor.....

I so keep up with the current trend from Microsoft....still not impressed with whatever they are producing these days....nothing will compel me to switch back or even buy a SURFACE PRO 3.0 or??, not that APPLE is that wonderful; though it does have their shares of OOPS!...but in the whole, software/hardware wise, much, much more stable than any Windows systems/Windows based hardware....

there are people who complain but still uses them, like those who complain about the pap yet still vote them.

Windows is quite stable these days. It's only that the recent versions (Win 8 and Win 10) are forcing or pressurizing you to use the touch-centric tile UI and also use Microsoft's cloud and web services.

Older PCs are still good enough to run most games, maybe not on max resolution but they are good enough.
