Tech Predictions: 2007 Edition
,----[ Quote ]
| # .NET: Thousands of developers will horribly abuse WPF in ways that
| can only be called nightmarish
|
| # .NET: Thousands of developers will look to Redmond for an answer
| to the question, "Which should I use? BizTalk, Windows Workflow,
| or SQL Server Service Broker?", and get no clear answer.
|
| # Windows: Microsoft will try, once again, to kill off the
| abomination that was called the Windows 95/98/Me line of operating
| systems...
|
| # Windows: Ditto for Visual Basic 6.0, except now the outcry will
| be on behalf of developers who aren't capable of learning anything
| new.
|
| # Java: JSR 277 will continue to churn along, and once the next
| draft ships, publicly nobody will like what we produce, though
| quietly everybody will admit it's a far cry better than what we have
| now, and when it ships in JDK 7 will be adopted widely and quietly.
|
| # Java: Thousands of new ideas and proposals to extend the Java
| language in various ways will flood into the community...
|
| # General: Yet Another Virus That's Microsoft's Fault will rip
| through the Internet, and nobody will notice that the machines
| affected are the ones that aren't routinely administered or
| receive updates/patches. Companies will threaten Microsoft with
| million-dollar lawsuits, yet will fire none of their system
| administrators who lovingly lavish whole days tuning their
| Linux IRC servers yet leave the Windows Exchange Server still
| running Windows NT 4.0....

The list is /very/ long and detailed, but it looks promising for Linux, Open
Source, and standards (e.g. Java, Ruby, XML).
