It depends on your perspective... if you're talking about general population things, then yeah, I get that... mobile... web... blah blah blah... but that's not our market where I work. I have always, and probably will always, work in the enterprise environment where the desktop is till king. I work with organizations that may have hundreds of users that already have desktops and because of what they do (we work exclusively with non-profit organizations) they can't just jump on the latest technological wonder bus. That's not to say we don't see the writing on the wall, as we have taken out platform and moved it out of WinForms and into a rich-web environment. Still requires an enterprise level server structure though.

And that's why I take issue with general blanket statements like that... the desktop is going away FOR SOME people ... but there's still a large segment of people (businesses, markets, etc) that for a variety of reasons tied to the desktop for some time to come.
