Star Future Versions of Windows To Be 'Fundamentally Redesigned'
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 30th May 2007 09:55 UTC
Windows Microsoft executive Ty Carlson spoke about the future of Windows recently during a panel discussion at the Future in Review 2007 conference held in San Diego, California. Carlson said that future versions of Windows would have to be 'fundamentally different' in order to take full advantage of future CPUs that will contain many processing cores. "You're going to see in excess of eight, 16, 64 and beyond processors on your client computer," said Carlson, whose job title is director of technical strategy at Microsoft. Windows Vista, he said, was "designed to run on one, two, maybe four processors."

Yup, they pretty much predicted the future to a tee with the BeOS. ;) It's a shame most people thought they were full of it, but I suppose that comes with the whole "ahead of its time" territory.

Well, since you're talking about people that are full of it, don't forget the profound lack of any business sense of JLG et al.
