Every time some research company makes a bold prediction six years ahead I can only think of this:
> In 1997 Intel was the king of the hill; in that year it first announced the Itanium or IA-64 processor. That same year, research company IDC predicted that the Itanium would take over the world, racking up $38 billion in sales in 2001. Wow! Everybody paid attention.
Six years is an awfully long time in this industry.
