2009 will be the last participation of Apple at the MacWorld Expo

Apple has just announced by a communication the press that 2009 will be the last year when it will take part in MacWorld Expo at San Francisco: no more stand, no more "opening keynote"… no more endless queue of mac lovers around the Moscone Center in the hope of obtaining a place to see 'Steve' live.
In any case, the " keynote" this year will be made by Phil Schiller, vice-president of Apple.
OK - so it will be necessary to fall back on the WWDC…
