I think you are missing one aspect: Windows PCs will be disappearing
at a more rapid rate than Macs. The majority of Windows PCs are used
for low-level tasks that are better served by something in the iPad
category.
Also noteworthy is that M$ was again caught flat footed. They do not
have an operating system for this new category of computer. Apple is
in the lead with Google not far behind. In third place we may have HP
-- if they are smart -- and HP's recent purchase of Palm suggests that
they are. It also looks like RIM won't be making the transition.

I agree that a lot of computer work needs a full blown machine.
However, it could well be that Macs will eventually be mostly
relegated to professional level work environments and that such things
as the iMac and the larger MacBook portables will slowly disappear
from home and casual usage settings.
