Microsoft Chief Research and Strategy Officer Craig Mundie on Thursday offered a long-term view of where Microsoft and the world of computing are heading over the next few decades. Speaking at the MIT Emerging Technology Conference here, Mundie envisioned a 3D virtual world populated by virtual presences, using a combination of client and cloud services.
He called this next generation “spatial computing” and listed numerous attributes: many-core processors; parallel programming; seamlessly connected and fully productive; context-aware and model-based; personalized, humanistic, and adaptive; 3D and immersive; and utilizing speech, vision and gestures.
Now I have some some Ideas of my own for the next generation of computing.
Secure, NO BSOD, Working Device Drivers, Doesn’t require a super computer to work at a reasonable speed, Doesn’t require a steep relearning curve, Doesn’t phone home constantly, Doesn’t require constant rebooting, i.e., it works! Let’s get this list right before we try the one above.
What say you fellow Techrepublic citizens?
