Waiting for free software releases
Some of the best software that I use is FREE, so please don't think for a minute that I am complaining. Still, there are two (hopefully!) soon to be released free packages that I can't wait for:
Open Croquet - this may change the way we think of online collaboration and generally large scale network applications
Apple Computer's early development release of JDK 15. (also known as JDK 5)
Everything else, I can be wait for :-)
