Apple isn't ditching power users. They still sell Macs and OSX is not touch-based (nor will it be in Lion).

Microsoft converting all of it's desktop users to a touch-first OS is going to be... interesting.

Perhaps they will settle on multi-touch trackpads like the Apple Magic Trackpad to resolve the gorilla-arm issue?

I'm a developer. A touch screen UI doesn't benefit me too much, just like I think it won't most business users. But maybe I'm wrong. We'll have to wait and see :)

For businesses its a win if you can get everyone one laptop, rather than an iPad and a laptop.
