Last year I wrote an article titled “After Windows 7: What Microsoft Should Do” and gave my opinions of what Microsoft might have up their sleeve for the version coming after Windows 7′s release later this year. Here’s a slight update to those predictions.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for the recent Star Trek novels and the J.J. Abrams movie Star Trek. Read with caution.
Recently the folks at Cryptic Studios have released a timeline that takes into account the new Star Trek movie. In the new movie, events in the 24th century have led to the creation of an alternate timeline. While this timeline is J.J. Abrams’ new playground, Star Trek Online will be a continuation of the Star Trek “Prime” universe, where Klingons looked like darker humans with goatees then had forehead ridges and people never questioned it; a universe where Spock died on the Genesis planet and Bones acted all funny for a movie; a universe where Locutus of Borg told Riker that resistance was futile and Sisko both started and ended the Dominion War and Janeway got lost in Borgtown. This universe, where every TV episode we watched growing up and every movie we’ve seen up until now has taken place in, is where Star Trek Online will take place.
