Once these guys get a handle on Piracy and I think they will i don't think there going to see any significant rise in revenue. I don't see the pirates or even the honest home users upgrading for all the bells and whistles.

I guess this leaves bussinesses as the next revenue stream. I believe many are going to say why do we need to upgrade? We upgrade we're going to need more memory maby a better chip.

This leaves the so called "smart devices", handhelds and cell phones. This may be the deciding factor for many to upgrade. I have'nt seen 2005 yet but I am going to get a beta. 2005 could be an interesting year for IT. MS is selling the theme that 2005 could be like going from DOS to Win 3.1 .
