Predictions revisited
In late 2002, I wrote this prediction that Microsoft would eventually release a Linux version of the Office product. So I was wrong - or was I? Today, Heise (German) is reporting rumors that IBM and Microsoft are working together to ready a version of Office for Linux. I still think this will eventually happen as it makes absolute sense for Microsoft to offer a version of Office of Linux (just as they are doing for OS X).
In fact in the future we will have to get used to the fact that traditional operating system companies such as Microsoft and Apple offer products for other systems than their own. Apple already offers iTunes for Windows and no doubt will soon be offering other products in the i-range on Microsoft's operating system.
