While "it was worth remembering the brilliantly twisted words of Casey Stengel, who once cautioned, "Never make predictions, especially about the future"" there are many of us who are glad that you ignore such sage advise. Your predictions have a been a must-read for years, especially because of your 'look back accounting' of how they panned out. Thanks much, and Happy Predicting! disclosure: I cut and pasted the above quote from: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/tom_verducci/01/03/2012.developments/index.html#ixzz1iVHidVnY

Agree +1 for HP Apotheker / Meg prediction. Heck you should get a +10 - I bet no one else saw that coming!

Cringely, i think you deserve a bonus point for predicting the apotheker firing, even if it was so clearly going to happen in your mind. FEB is early enough to count. so +1 right to your score good sir!! REF: http://www.cringely.com/2011/02/why-leo-apotheker-will-be-fired-from-hewlett-packard/

What is a year away is WinRT which is the simplified tablet OS that will be part of Windows 8. The Windows 7 tablets are running full Windows 7 on Intel chips. With WinRT they will be able to use the low power Arm chips, sell "apps", and compete with Apple and Android on similar hardware. But I agree, if you need a Windows computer anyway and don't mind the somewhat limited battery life or slower performance of full Windows on a small device, then Windows 7 or 8 on Intel is the way to go.

I dunno about that Microsoft conclusion. I think Microsoft will play its Windows Phone 7 properly, which is to finance it adequately and nurture it and eventually it could become a success. Unlike, for instance, HP and touchpad. I see Microsoft behaving more like Sony: get a vision, turn it into a product, then commit to that vision for the long term. I'm thinking Sony's incredible e-Reader device. Cell phone is too large for Windows to drop, even if they don't dominate day 1. Also, I don't know what you mean about Windows tablets being at least a year away. I was down to the Best Buy yesterday (first time in months, I had gotten a gift card) and was pleased to play around with both HP's slate and the ASUS Windows tablet. I played the Windows solitaire game and thought, darn it but this is the way to play this game! Then I looked at the Android tablets and in comparison, they are positively primitive compared to the Windows tablets. I actually have one Android tablet and one RIM tablet, they are "okay" but the next one will be a Windows tablet for sure. $1,000 is a bit dear, but $500 seems completely reasonable for Windows. In any case, I can buy a Windows 7 tablet today if I felt like it. I don't know what you meant when you wrote "at least a year away".
