Their suppliers can email invoices, which can be forwarded to whoever does their accounts, along with any additional expenses. They can email estimates to customers who can review them on their phones etc, with any photos and visuals attached, and backups will be in the cloud. Many more small businesses in Asia etc are already run on phones and the owners are unlikely to ever see a need for a PC.

So I believe small businesses are unlikely to be a driver of PC sales going forward and Microsoft now recognises this. Intel still seems to believe that the superiority of x86 will drive sales when it could also make use of its production expertise and capture a profitable part of the ARM arena.
