[From Stephen Trew] I think Intel and Dell want to play down the 'Post PC era'. Their business depends on it considering ARM processors are dominating the mobile space. So what is the greatest innovation in PCs in the last year? Ultrabooks. And who was the innovator there? Apple, with the MacBook Air. Ultrabooks are nothing new.
"Speaking at Dell World 2011, Otellini told an audience of industry executives that Intel loves PCs. 'I suspect Steve Ballmer said the same thing this morning and I know that our partner Dell absolutely loves PCs,' said Otellini. He continued to say that Intel and Microsoft have built a "wonderful industry" and that he believes PCs are now being taken for granted because they're so useful. 'To some extent the evolution of the PC has been retarded I think in the last few years so as we look forward in terms of where the PC has to continue to grow…it has to get more and more consumer friendly.'"
