Thinking of it, I'm surprised that they haven't made more moves in that direction yet.<p>Can you think of anyone you know who would be better off with an Iphone like OS for their primary machine? Streamlined &#38; controlled app installation. No file system access. No virtual desktop. No desktop at all.<p>I know several. The reality is that most people still feel awkward with computers. They have to ask for help. They qualify sentences with "I don't know computers." It's not just about what they can do (they can usually get their work done), it's about how that feels. It feels crap.<p>I seriously think that if you put an iMac  sized iphone in front of them with a Word app and such, they would feel a lot better with it. They wouldn't need to ask for help. They wouldn't feel like they don't understand. They would be able to get their work done just as well. In fact, an iPad with 3g &#38; a keyboard dock is almost there. Maybe it is there.<p>Why should Apple want the world of computing to look like this? They are good at that world.
