Margins on desktops went to nothing. That was helped by people buying laptops for home use. Noticed how a laptop costs twice as much as a PC and isn't upgradeable so only lasts half as long - that's a nice business to be in.

Then everybody switched to netbooks which have a smaller margin than the bag you take it home in.
