"degraded" has NOTHING to do with whether
 computers are getting better or worse.  It is ENTIRELY about the
 transition from being a computer company into being a consumer electronics
 company. 
Probably a very shrewd move, too.  Computers are a commodity item 
now; just the thing you don't want if you're trying to run a high-
profit margin operation.  Better to produce new widgets that folks 
will pay a premium to own.
