What will MS do next?

I found a Gate's quote in the newspaper today (translated from Swedish):
"The telephone still isn't perfect. If you give your number to someone, they can call whenever they want. Why aren't there programs working for you, deciding whether you are sorry that you gave away your number to a certain person?"

He said this is what he wants Windows to do in the future. I wouldn't trust Windows on human emotions ever.

Not hard drives anymore. IIRC it is the older FAT16 which they (suposedly) have propriarty rights to. Most hard disks now use a FAT32 system; FAT16 only works up to 2 gigs.

FAT32 is a superset of FAT16 -- you can't have FAT32 without FAT16's underpinnings.

Plus I'd doubt very much that MS would apply for patents for FAT16 but not FAT32, since they developed both.
