Still they call themselves cardesigners.... who are going to break it to them that they arent really designing cars?! poor bastar*s

Lets fight for our right to Staaaaaar Treeeeeeek..... i would say playing anything on a "holodeck" would be awesome... hmm maybe not pong.

Is a Bastar a Trekky character?

Been knocked off for a while Philly.

Philly the future computers have very little in a desktop really. Except for what pops up on the screen when it is needed. The newest design is more of the computers that talk back and such. Just about everything has gone to where we do not use a mouse and for that matter a keyboard. Oh icons will always be used in folders and such the like. But as for the start menu - it is gone - no more. So is the taskbar and all related objects you would usually see there.

The touch screen is just the beginning of all this and soon anything you want is just a shout away. Sort of like ask and you shall recieve sort of stuff. Anyway that is where things are going... oh there will always be the gaming systems with little of no what they are today. But they will still have a mouse or gadget like a mouse to use for playing whatever game it is you prefer. But a lot of gaming is looking into the touch type of controls also. Sort of like what ID was wishing for here the other day. Instead of using the mouse to do things - it is a touch pad where you use your fingers to control everything. Then there is another project like with the talking to and fro system with a motion detection system and/or camera. Which captures your movements and relates it to the machine for whatever it is programmed to do. Such as run,walk, sit, jump, turn, and any other movement that it can figure with whatever you might be able to physically do. Ya sounds a bit on the tuff side for being hard to do at an older age or such. But this is what people want. They want to be able to get into whatever the game is in reality almost. Even with whatever there is that is actually being done by their other players and such. More competition with this it seems.

But the future is almost here and I think the last windows to come will have some of this. But there are other companies out there which are trying to out do windows with a better way of using the computer. At this time Windows 8 is about the same as what 7 looks like. Not too much difference yet...

I really believe the touch and talking systems will actually take over in the long run due to the fact it has no desktop and people really just want to see what they want to see on their desktop no matter what it is or does. Meaning we are going to a desktop that is completely open until you tell the system what it is you want to do or want to see and so forth. Then you can interact with it by touching or speaking to the system itself or for that matter so can the other people you are allowing into that system at the sametime such as messengers and so forth. Everything is going more live than it has been with the button pushing of the past. Ya that is the real word for it truely LIVE !

Ooops 

I am. Nothing beats good old fashioned Files & folders
