This is a pretty bad list. I’m guessing the author isn’t really technical (or they could just have been living in a cave).

For example, Apple has been increasing in popularity for several years now. They did nothing significant of note in 2008 - they just continued what they’ve been doing. Additionally, the iPhone is NOT a gaming device and never will be. It might serve to run some novelty-type games, but the touch screen is not conducive to any real sort of gaming. (The iPhone’s real advantages come in many other facets of the device.)

The launch of Google Chrome was also pretty much a non-issue.

Agreed, looks like the article is a bit out of touch.

I didn't see any virtualization breakthroughs this year, other than some new virtualization product offerings. The real revolution was VMWare ESX launched years ago.

Google chrome is a non-factor.

Virtual switches have been around for a while too.
