Microsoft Predictions for 2008: Fiji resurfaces

<b>Microsoft Predictions for 2008: Fiji resurfaces</b>
It's pundit prediction time again. Here are ten predictions about what I think we'll see in Microsoft land in 2008.

First up: Expect "Fiji," the new version of Windows Media Center, to resurface. Fiji, which probably now has a boring codename like Windows 6.5, will reemerge from information lock-down in early 2008. I wouldn't be surprised to see Microsoft field a private test build of Fiji as soon as January (timed with the Consumer Electronics Show). Because Fiji allegedly requires Vista Service Pack 1 to work, a public beta is probably unlikely until spring. Final Fiji release: I'm betting late summer 2008 (in time for Holiday 2008 preloads).
