Sorry! I guess that means most of the computer questions were answered, and that's a good thing!
That is highly unlikely because we have a secret weapon.
It's called
USERS

:flames::flames::flames:
If its possible to break they will and
even if it isnt possible they will break it.
The thing about the user base is that is isn't getting any more sophisticated about the points of computer ownership that affect reliability. Still clueless about basic security and unwilling to do their homework. Still in love with downloading every "free" screen saver and junk toolbar on the planet. Don't you love all those guys who get bent out of shape because they installed some registry hack to add "Move" to the Windows Explorer context menu, and can't understand why it hosed their system? Say, have you noticed P2P software disappearing? Nah, me neither.
On the other hand while agree that certainly current OS's are more reliable than just a few years ago, when they break, more expertise is usually need to fix them. So, that's still a win for us. I don't have many customers anymore who would routinely consider paying me to install a program, but if the installation should go bad, it's more profitably to troubleshoot.
Of course, the big threat is that the PC is now obsolete and will soon be replaced by thin clients and diskless workstations running on Netware servers. Wait! I mean't OS2 servers... Crap! Wrong decade! Sorry. I meant to say, the future is all about mobile devices and the Cloud. Dude! Can't wait until I can run Adobe Premier on my cell phone!
Cloud, Schmoud! Would you really trust all of your important files to a server you have never seen before? And if it goes Tango Uniform, all they will do is sheepishly say that they are sorry? What about hackers? Pshaw, I say!
