Yes, there will be a place for desktops. I dont see that going away. Its more about the masses then the gamers or graphic artist and such.
FYI steam isnt cloud computing. But things like youtube, face book, a gazzilion google apps, are. Cloud computing has been with us for a long time already. Its just a new buzz word. Forinstance, I can use Picasa (a Google app) to store and sort and publish photo's. They can be private, or shared. And I can also edit the photo's for things like red eye, contrast, etc etc etc. And its all done in a browser. Its no Photoshop, but most people dont even know how to use photoshop.
Thinks like spreadsheets and word and even power point should not have to be loaded on your HD anymore.
