What are Your 2007 Tech Predictions?

Published on January 1, 2007 By Island Dog In Personal Computing

I have been reading several articles on peoples tech predictions for 2007, so I was curious as to what your predictions are. My predictions for 2007 are pretty bland in comparison to some I have seen. I do think this year will be an exciting one, just because we have Windows Vista and Leopard coming out.

Windows Vista: Will have a mild start, but will slowly progress throughout the year. I think a lot of people will simply take the opportunity to buy a new PC this year and that is how they will obtain Vista.
OS X Leopard: I think Leopard will have a strong start, because Apple will really push Leopard out of the gates, starting with MacWorld San Francisco next week. Not sure how it will continue throughout the year.

I'm going to have to think about some hardware predictions, and a few other things. So let's hear what you all think is going to make the tech news this year.

I have foreseen! ( More like a guesses based on my knowledge.

)

1: Vista will turn out to be seller, but not as big seller as Microsoft wants it to be.

2: As result of Vista, Linux will become somewhat more popular due to problems with DRM and agreements.

3: Hard drive will slowly evolve into pure server domain only. ( See #4 on reason )

4: Hybrid flash/hard drive will boom, but quickly give away to pure flash hard drive due to prices going down in nosedive due to high production of memory chips.

5: Stardock will become popular since people is getting tired of AERO look and want more.

( Long term )

6: Kids who grew up using One Laptop Per Child laptops prefers Linux due to lifelong usage, and this may affect Microsoft future.

7: Death of electric-communication in internal of computers. It's now purely optical.

( LOOONG term )

8: Death of physical networking due to new quantum communication hardware.

9: Nanotechnology finally stabilizes and nano-bots can build extremely powerful computers out of your garbage. Economy goes purely knowledge and minerals-based.
