This month we are looking at the future -- and last week we spoke of the changes that are going on in desktop computers. I pointed out that one of the big problems with every single one of the available desktop concepts is the lack of a mobile solution ...

"TV is moving to the Web in a major way," Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle told the E-Commerce Times.

There is no doubting the importance of Windows Vista, formerly known as "Longhorn" and the successor to Windows 95 through XP, as it forms the foundation for Microsoft's future fortunes just as its predecessor did for the company in years past. Vista will be Microsoft's strongest response to competitive pressure from platforms like Linux and the Mac OS...

We spend a lot of time forecasting the death of Sun these days. Employees have probably forgotten how to spell the word "morale," acquisitions seem more focused on distracting stake holders from clueless executives, and there often seems like a plan to develop more never-to-be-executed, silly strategies there than at any other company that has ever existed...
