Corel Linux will make a come back ushering in the new age of Linux on the Desktop. It will be sold by HP, Dell, and Lenovo on all their systems.

Microsoft will release Visual Python which will be their first full fledged ide to run cross platform - Linux, Windows, OS X and netBSD sparking an outrage from the PC BSD people as the binaries will only run on netBSD.

Adobe CS will be released for Corel Linux only sparking a new age of collaboration between the two companies.

Microsoft will buy Corel and port a windows layer on top of the Linux Kernel a la OS X Aqua/Cocoa style and complete the circle. Corel Linux will be the number one OS and the most secure OS ever!

With open source and big business/closed source) could be a major war brewing. i.e. Oracle and etc. We not seen anything yet. Get source code while you can.

Proprietary web based os will become prevalent. Legacy machines where you can run your own os will become priceless in value.

Arm processors could become the default cpu and upend the x86 architecture.
