Forget the future, I'm worried about the present.

I'm worried about the recent (20-year) past. After all, Windows has been pretty much gravitating towards user-obsequious GUI and ridiculous marketing since its inception, and both the present and the future are built on the past.

Where will it be in another 20 years? ACT NOW if you want general-purpose PCs to remain dominant over specialised, overpriced 'media centers' (aka. a PC doing the work of DVD player) and toasters playing the Microsoft Sound(TM).

Right,

because as we all know dvd players can play mp3s, wma's and streaming content from other wifi connected devices or from the internet.

No, but I'll bet you could get just about any PC to do that without using some special Media Center OS.

This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address occurred during the same week.  This is an ironic juxtaposition of events--one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, while the other involves a groundhog.
