Microsoft Talks Up Future Windows OSs, Sort Of

Admitting that the current Windows architecture is getting long in the
tooth, Microsoft is now finally in the early stages of creating a new OS
based on an entirely new foundation. This new OS would eventually replace
Windows. This news shouldn't come as a surprise, per se. But what's
interesting is that Microsoft is actually talking about it for the first
time. A future OS with a new foundation would better leverage the power of
multicore microprocessors, the company says, but would require
software-development tools that don't yet exist. Replacing Windows won't be
easy, of course, and Microsoft is only at the first, tentative stages. But
given how deftly the company handled the transitions to technologies such as
the Intel 286, Windows NT, and x64 architecture, I can state with some
certainty that we should be free of Windows by 2050, at the latest.
 
And I believe all the new 2007 cars and trucks are also outdated
as the auto manufacturers are designing the 2012 models.

And hard drives are outdated since we'll all be using vertical holographic
storage by then, too.
 
That's funny. I remember in early '98 being asked a question something
like "what are you certain will happen in the next X years?" where X was
progressively 5, 10, 20 etc. The only thing I felt sure about back then
was a new version of Windows.
