I know this is going to twist some titties... BUT

Way back in 2000, VCSY and Apollo Industries joined forces to produce something or other.

You can look it up. Apparently all my speculations upset original_crispy_al and hawcreek aka vcsy_stock_scam so I don't want to burden them with any more references. They do get quite upset when I cut and paste articles and references so take it up with them.

Well, back in 2001 VCSY had a particular person perform some specific services for them. It's in one of their filings. You can look that up as well.

Now, when you do some more searching, it turns out this particular person shows up as an expert in electronics and optics at a famous Georgia institute of learning. In fact, he built a method of testing multiple laser frequencies in a single optical fiber.

If it's not the same guy the coincidental accident is quite amazing.

Well, odd thing about it, Apollo Industries (Apollo is actually a large entity that buys up downtrodden companies and rebuilds them - you should check into it) has an electronics packaging facility only twenty or so miles away in nearby Smyrna, Georgia. "Over yonder" as they say.

And all this happened around the time just before Apollo Industries did a joint venture with VCSY for VCSY to build a distributed smartcard platform for Apollo.

It's all there in the search box anytime you want to look it up. But, you won't because you think I'm deluded. Fine with me, frogleg.

Well, anyway, it strikes me as odd that the first university to begin building a virtual copy of itself on the virtual world web system Second Life is in Georgia. "Yonder" down the road from Smyrna.

Weird, isn't it?

And by the way; Apollo Industries? They originated in Hong Kong right alongside Feeney and Li Ka-Shing organizations.

Weird coincidences, aren't they? I have some powerful delusions to make so many coincidences happen, don't I? Wow.

Now, if we can just figure out what Adobe is doing with all their visual stuff that would work beautifully on a virtual world system along with the interactive automation capabilities in Adobe Apollo.

Then we can figure out what the Siteflash patent inventor had to do with Raydream way back when before Eovia picked that 3D modeling company up and slapped that freaking orange eclipse logo that we've seen on RCA, Orange and Octilla.

Maybe then we can get some sleep.

Interesting thing:
Director: Microsoft fueling HD wars
http://www.electronista.com/articles/07/12/04/bay.on.microsoft.hd/
Microsoft is deliberately feeding into the HD disc format wars to ensure that its own downloads succeed where physical copies fail, says movie director Michael Bay in a response to a question posed through his official forums. The producer contends that Microsoft is writing "$100 million dollar checks" to movie studios to ensure HD DVD exclusives that hurt the overall market regardless of the format's actual merit or its popularity, preventing any one format from gaining a clear upper hand.
"What you don't understand is corporate politics," he says in the response. "Microsoft [officials] want both formats to fail so they can be heroes and make the world move to digital downloads."

Windows versions have always had a number associated with them like Windows 3.1, but it was just not marketed that way. Check out the MSDN documentation for the OSVERSIONINFO structure which is part of the windows API. (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724834.aspx)

Windows 95 -> 4.0
Windows 98 -> 4.10
Windows Me -> 4.90
Windows 2000 -> 5.0
Windows XP -> 5.1
Windows Vista -> 6.0

So to me it makes sense that the next version would be Windows 7.0.

NT is considered a different platform; so it is versioned independently.

Joe, you are unbelievable. Why is it such a concern of yours when Microsoft plans such conferences? The company is not ready to discuss the upcoming technologies, Windows Vista was just released over year ago, Windows Server 2008 is not RTM yet, Visual Studio 2008 was just RTMed, SQL 2008 is still in development. Whats the rush?

There is plenty of time in the fall of '08 for both WinHEC and PDC, Microsoft could hold the WinHEC conference in early September with enough gap in between for folks to prepare for PDC '08. I am sure Microsoft is having an ongoing relationship with hardware partners and they are constantly working together to define future techologies and standards, so you don't need to make it sound like Microsoft is gonna drop a bomb on them at the last minute.

Final details for the beta release of next generation of Windows is probably still in planning, not even a status of the first beta release.

As for the codename Windows '7' I am surprised you do not know the story behind Windows versions since you seem to cover Microsoft from top to bottom.

When Microsoft decided to shift their development efforts from OS/2 to NT back in the early 90's the Company took the decision to utilize the popularity of the Windows 3x platform which was at the time very popular because of the successful release of Windows 3.0. Microsoft harnessed both strength of brand and the ui to make it more familar to Company's that were interested in NT, so they chose to name the first version of NT, Windows NT 3.1 after the consumer version Windows 3.1. There was never an NT 1 or 2.

Here are list of releases:
Windows 1.0
Windows 1.01
Windows 2 - 286
Windows 2 - 386
Windows 3.0
Windows 3.1
Windows NT 3.1
Windows NT 3.5
Windows NT 3.51
Windows 95 version 4.0
Windows NT 4.0
Windows 98 version 4.0.1998
Windows 98 SE version 4.0.2222
Windows 2000 NT version 5.0
Windows XP NT version 5.1
Windows Server 2003 NT version 5.2
Windows Vista NT version 6.0
Windows Server 2008 NT version 6.1
Windows Vista SP1 NT version 6.1

Windows 7 NT version 7.0

Joe... dude... are you deficient?

See above windows version codes that i dearly hoped someone with a blog titled Microsoft Watch should be at least vaguely familiar with.

dude, you just disqualified yerself. the guy who thinks he owns the right, to keep blaring on about how much this and that sucks about vista/windows/microsoft whatever, doesn't even know how windows came along... congrats. i really, really should quit reading this bs-blog and finally delete it from the feedreader... just keeps getting worse... and now mr wilcox even demonstrates his cluelessness in full glory, priceless :)

Come on Joe, surely you're not so clueless as to confuse Microsoft code/project names with release names... I'm sure you've run WinVer before.
To correct Phil Deet's post: WIn2K, XP, Vista are successors to NT not the Win9x/ME platform. NT had largely parallel numbering, beginning with 3.1, then 3.5 but 2000 etc follow on from that scheme.

As for Marco's comment on the DVD format wars, that is truly clueless. Blu-ray plays into Hollywood studios who are trying to control content (e.g it has Region encoding which don't exist in HD-DVD). HD-DVD also offers simultaneous interactive content with the video content (Blu-ray is single stream) so you get the potential for more advanced content with computers, gaming machines and living-room-based interactive content.Blu-ray is superseded technology right out of the gate...
