Star OSNews: What We'd Like To See in 2009
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 31st Dec 2008 18:26 UTC
OSNews, Generic OSes The internet, and much of the real world as well, is currently in list mode. Just about any possible list that can be made up regarding 2008 will be made up somewhere, so we decided not to reinvent the wheel and look forward instead of backward. Since we like to leave the guessing predicting to the analysts, we just limited ourselves to what tech-related matters we would like to see in 2009. Read on for our lists, and of course, post your own in the comments. And lest we forget: a very happy 2009 from the OSNews crew!

my take on 2009
Windows 7 will flop. Not because of its software but because no one will be able to afford a new PC espcially companies.

The same will apply to large touch/surface devices.

Netbooks will be the one part that will continue to Flourish.
Apple WILL bring out a low priced MacBook to counter the rise of the Netbooks.

At least one major PC box shifer will go bust.

Linux.... Will be stonger than ever despite what the Head of Microsoft Research thinks. 'It should remain in Academia'.

IE's share of the Browser Market will fall below 50% despite IE8 being fully w3c compliant.
SCI will finally go into Chapter 7.
