Revisiting my un-predictions

Way back in Jan­u­ary (although it seems like yes­ter­day) I stu­pidly made a few pre­dic­tions for the year ahead. So did any of them come to pass?

I’ll start on safe ground. Dis­en­chant­ment with the Win­dows OS (its cost, secu­rity prob­lems, new licens­ing issues etc) will con­tinue a pace. Vista won’t live up to the Long­horn vision seen here (I love the “Com­ing Octo­ber 2003″ line). Of course, loads of peo­ple will still buy it and it will a boon for PC and mem­ory upgrade ven­dors.
