Not in the next year, there is already discussion for the newer dx10 cards that they may use a pci-e 32x bus, doubt it would be for the first gen of dx 10 cards but you never know. And the thing about sata3 is the fact that hard drives don't even come close to using even half of the bandwidth sata 1 provides, let alone 2, but you never know. Speed may not improve much but efficiency definately will, quad cores should be a common thing by the end of next year, but then again you never know and can never predict what will happen in one year with computers.

I predict Bill gates decides screw this, buys every computer firm in the world and uses them to digitize himself to be sent to where no nerd has gone before

Will fiber optics ever be used for the cables connecting the different computer parts?

intel has fiber optics patents for processors. I heard they might try fiber for optical and hard drives

Who do you think will win, HD DVD or Blu - Ray? And is there anything beyond these two for optical drives?

I have to say HD DVD because its yields of production are higher then blu-ray.

Even with Blu - Ray's theoretically higher storage (Double Layer)?

ya but blu-ray is harder to make the disc and both formats have dual layers.

Blu-Ray.
You can predict the future of computing for the next year, but you can't for the following 10 years.

That's certainly true enough. At the rate technology is advancing, making any prediction about computers or related devices that far in the future verges on science fiction. (Don't think for a second that's going to stop us from doing it, though).

Not much will be changed within a year, except that microsoft will release SP1 for Vista. After installation Vista will require from you to install patch which will fix new bugs SP1 created.
