My rep and I are continuing our year end strategy sessions and 2008 will be another banner year. We just finished figuring out different ways to procure financing for more product licensing. Here are some more predictions to add to this list:
1. Microsoft puts Nintendo out of business with an XBOX 360 handheld. This will combine the raw and unbridled power of the XBOX 360 with the form factor and popularity of the Zune. Bye-bye Nintendo DS
2. Apple will ask Microsoft for permission to move the iPod platform to Windows and eventually will give up on iTunes and the iPod completely due to the popularity of the Zune.
3. Linux and UNIX will completely die under pressure from the powerful Windows 2008 server. Linux distributors who have signed IP agreements with Microsoft will be allowed to survive but Red Hat will go away.
4. Vista will end up being the single most important technological innovation since Bell said "Hello Watson".
