In 2006
Google Gets Evil - That is, the most darling search engine in the world loses its geek chic and continues to make business decisions that set it on the portal path.

will ship Windows Vista, its next-generation operating system, in the second half of 2006. To some, that means no later than December 31; No one is holding their breath.

Companies will lookde to cut the number of servers & will go for dual-core processors were a great selling point for AMD-based servers

dual and multicore systems will become normal in boath desktop and servers.

At some point in 2006 the IPv4 address space will become exhausted. That means no more IP addresses will be available. Nada, zip, zilch. Will that cause a run for the hills? Will the Internet collapse? Hardly. The U.S has the lion's share of all IPv4 addresses and Network Address Translation (NAT) (define)&npsp;usage is ubiquitous so the event won't cause a great deal of commotion in this part of the world.
For the rest of the world, it's another story. IPv6, the next generation of IP with a seemingly infinite number of available IP addresses, is already beginning to take hold in Japan and China. Adoption of IPv6 will undoubtedly accelerate dramatically in 2006 in many part of the world.

Then There's WUSB
We also think wireless USB (WUSB) will be the most "visible" new technology of 2006. There are countless billions of peripheral devices connected by USB cables. With WUSB, all those cables could disappear. The WUSB specification which was formalized in 2005 and is backwards compatible with existing USB connections. That means the countless billions of USB peripherals have a simple wireless upgrade path. The first WUSB devices are expected by the second quarter of 2006. Look for the technology to gradually displace Bluetooth and Infrared as the dominant wireless interconnect for personal devices and peripherals.

Speaking of digital homes, where better to make use of broadband and VoIP than in the living room?
Those who haven't heard of Viiv by year's end will be few and far between. Intel is planning a huge multi-million-dollar campaign for its new consumer brand for computers designed for the so-called digital living room.
