"Ubuntu Xorg maintainer Bryce Harrington recently demonstrated the BulletProof-X feature that is planned for inclusion in Ubuntu 7.10. BulletProof-X provides a failsafe mode which will ensure that users never have to manually configure their graphics hardware settings from the command line."

Considering that the phrase "welcome to the 20th century" is synonymous with "welcome to the year 1901" (because that's when the 20th century began), then I'm pretty sure he meant "21st century" - because otherwise that would be a rather stupid comment. There were *no* computers in 1901. Saying that would be as irrelevant as saying "welcome to the 19th century".
"Welcome to the 21st century" on the other hand, is quite appropriate if you want to signify that something is catching up on a technological level.
