Thread: Microsoft's Vision for the Year 2019

Yeah, I'll bet a lot of that will be created in the next decade. But seeing as it took M$ 7 years to create the Vista disaster, it will not be them that creates any of them. The mobile stuff will be created by Apple, the medical stuff will be created by Medtronic, the commercial stuff will be created by IBM, Sony, and Sun.

Microsoft needs to get their act together and make something useful...

But really, I want to see Apple make a gaming console. I wonder what that would be like?

I don't think they've implemented all of Chicago, let alone Longhorn.....

We have enough game consoles, thank you Slayer.

The video reminds me of those '50s videos of 1999. Where the whole world was wired and everyone had a computer. And it hasn't happened yet. But I guess that what they showed wouldn't be too hard to have, just 2019 is a little soon. I don't think we have come that far since 1999, except for touch screen phones and slimmer TVs. I may be wrong, but drawing animations in thin air is a little ambitious.

2012 comes before 2019....fail

Same thing as my first thought

I thought that was more like drawing on an electronic device and the image that would be only on the electronic device was being put up in the air for us (the viewers of the video) to see. I may be mistaken though. I thought it was just a visual effect for us, and not necessarily what a person would see in reality.

They do, it's called the iPhone. It's the most powrful handheld gaming system out there by far. They also made one called the Pippen, it was the first with internet access, too bad it was 56k

XD

I mean like a big console like the Wii, Xbox, or PS3 (don't insert joke here).

I bet an Apple console would suck, and would cost 2x as much as the other systems, despite having worse hardware. It would also get no games.

Also, you call the iPhone the most powerfull handheld gaming device ever? You best be joking!

Now if they can only figure out how this is going to happen during a recussion.

eh, theres alot of artist vision mixxed in there with the entrepreneur and technician vision.

Please look at tech specs before saying random stuff in the tech forum. Most of the people in here know what they're talking about and will call you on such statements.

*cough* Pandora is more powerful than the iPhone (3D hardware wise, by quite a long way) *cough*

but then again, the Pandora is a portable gaming device, rather than a smart phone
