Hey everyone, here's what we can expect in the near future: in September, Microsoft will release Windows Vista, along with the 11th version of Windows Media. I saw a screenshot, and it looks cool, but it will also consume a lot of resources. As for the more distant future, according to reports from Samsung, in 2008, flash drives will replace hard drives because the data transfer speed is higher, and the power consumption is 40 times lower. This will be especially important for laptops, the sales of which are increasing every day, while the price is decreasing. So, imagine a laptop in 2008 that can run for not 5 hours, as it does now, but for a couple of days. In addition, new generation batteries have been developed. That's all for now.
