The Desktop will never die.
Despite what has been said many times on various sites, I really do not think there is any chance at all of desktops being replaced by tablets and similar devices. Why? There will always be enthusiasts who like to upgrade/tweak their own hardware, and as anyone who has ever opened up a laptop knows, desktops are far easier because they are bigger. What WILL happen, I would bet is that mainstream computing will go to tablets and similar devices and the desktop will become primarily an enthusiast product. It is similar to how full towers are generally used more by enthusiasts than by people who just want to use Microsoft Office.
