By now it is no secret that I have a unique super power. I can see the future of technology. Too many cell phone radio waves to my brain have caused me to have premonitions about the future of technology.
Two days ago, I was carried away in vision and I saw the future of Microsoft.
Microsoft knows they shot themselves in the foot with Vista. They knew before it was released that they would have to create a demand for it since it was replacing a superior product.
Now even the government is looking into getting away from Microsoft products. Linux seems to be the most popular option. This is where the prediction comes in.
Microsoft's next major operating system will not be Windows at all. It will be MS Linux. Remember MS DOS? What about MS SQL? Office 2007 uses MS XML. Microsoft will build their own version of Linux.
However, the new program will only run Linux at the very core. Everything else will be Microsoft. The system will likely not even turn on unless you have a MS Passport-type account with Microsoft.
By creating an operating system that will seamlessly tie in with Microsoft web applications Microsoft will hope that people will avoid Google.
It is a great strategy, but my second prediction is that Google will buy an Internet OS. Google will become an Online operating system that can run from any kind of computer anywhere in the world.
Within 10 years computers will be everywhere. There will be less demand for laptops because there will be small workstations in malls, airports, and cars. We will read our email and surf the web from our couches because our TVs will tap into our online operating system.
The shift from computer-based data to online-based data will cause another revolution and will be the most significant shift in technology ever.
And it will all be spurred by the mass exodus from Windows Vista.
