Well, desktop fans will soon fall into the minority :)
Comparing the number of smartphones, tablets and laptops to desktops, they already are a minority. However...
If anything, the paradigm of a "workstation" is certainly not going away. Programming, web design, business&office, CAD, animation and video production, gaming --- those are only some of typical real world usecases that need a large enough (or even high-end) display, a serious keyboard, and serious processing power with an extendable amount of RAM.
None of this can be done (not seriously, anyway) on a laptop, let alone the tablet or a phone. So there will always be a market for desktops.
HTH, :-) Marko
