My prediction for 2014 is simple. As people realize that ARM chips are way more modern and efficient than those ridiculous 80x86 chips Intel has insisted putting down our throat for 30 years, the fate of Intel becomes all the more obvious.
Microsoft is trying its best helping Intel not fall too fast by rotting their own Windows, much what Microsoft released as part of Windows 8 was taken back only because there was no efficient mobile Intel chip for running it.
And Microsoft is still not selling a Visual Studio flavor for building ARM applications.
This is only possible because Microsoft and Intel are on the same boat. They are part of the US empire. And this empire, once its true goals become apparent (hint : NSA global spying), its fate is also inevitable.
I can't wait for it.
Hopefully, this "internet of things" nonsense, being massively invested in by the US empire, will be simply ignored by people out there.
