Pretty much, yeah.
The traditional computer is pretty much dead technology now (well, they will still be around for a lot longer, but no longer the way forward you might say)
Likewise, laptops are dead, I shall be very surprised if they even remain on the market for much longer.
Like it or lump it, tablets and wireless is the way forwards, although the tablet is not quite there yet (not powerful enough).
So it is not surprising that OS makers have been moving towards touchscreen oriented systems, Linux went a while ago, as did Apple, Microsoft are simply playing catch-up!!
