It may be possible if android technology is made possible by then. But even still, it's a stretch. --99.154.3.9 (talk) 03:04, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Why isn't the 10th aneversery listed on here. I would think that something speacial would happen on that day.

[edit] Pronounciation

That's mostly common sense. 1900 wasn't called 'one thousand nine hundred' for simplicity's sake. 'Two-thousand' is simple to say, and 'twenty-hundred' would sound somewhat foolish.

The double-zero factor prevents people from saying 'twenty-oh-eight.' By all aspects, that sounds incorrect. However, in 2010, it is certain that 'twenty-ten' will prevail.

I find it strange that the 'Pronounciation' section is included in this article at all. It only seems to be rambling opinions of 'experts' with no sense on the matter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.211.44.232 (talk) 10:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate the addition of a 'Pronunciation' Section- it lets you know that others are wondering too, and what is predicted to come. I overheard a cheerleading squad debating whether or not to pronounce their graduation year "two-thousand (and) eleven", or "twenty-eleven". It's interesting to see an online debate as well. unsigned

[edit] Windows Vienna?

Wasn't it originally stated that Windows Vienna was scheduled to be released sometime this year? --99.154.3.9 (talk) 03:05, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Religious Holidays

Why are very random "neo-pagan" holidays mentioned, but not major holidays of the Jewish, Islamic, Hindu faiths? (or for that matter, why aren't all major religious holidays mentioned?) 198.137.20.52 (talk) 20:21, 29 May 2008 (UTC)Steve D

They're not mentioned because no one has gotten around to mentioning them yet. If you see something missing, feel free to add it. Cosmic Latte (talk) 06:20, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
