Additionally, we are discussing the fact that people need/want laptops or desktops to install software not available from app markets. The fact that it can be downloaded does not support the assertion that people don't need PCs anymore. Yes, I realized there are other methods of installing software. That's not the issue; the issue is that the software is un-installable. Regardless of the method delivery, you can't install Windows on an iPad or an android tablet. That's the point; not that an optical drive is necessary.
