Survey: 

My desktop is on its last legs. If you're in my situation what would you

Note: the columns on the layout above may wander as text emails rarely stay
in tact when posted.

So if a developer was to choose a type of platform on which to do their
development it appears that desktops and laptops rule by around 87 percent
and only a relatively small percentage would attempt to choose anything
else...so the PC is not quite dead yet.
