Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO, countered the idea, that, the era of PC is waning. Maybe he can't sleep over the idea, a PC being a big old farm truck. That carries nothing but stacks of hay. Compared to the automatic and sophisticated cars in the city, Steve Jobs could mean that the PC has no longer a place in the current technology trend.
But, Steve Ballmer says otherwise. The iPad is just another PC with a different form factor. What the Apple did with the b was indeed magical. But then, at the end of the day, users send e-mails, surf the web and create documents in a PC. PC's are not created equal. With the iPad's limited functionality, it just can't do as much as a PC does and not everbody could afford it.
