Well, not at the personally accessible level. I understand that there
are now several complexes that approximate the processing power of a
human brain...of course, they aren't being used for AI development.
Where? I have not heard of any such.
OTOH, if things continue along the same curve (and Vista appears to be
pushing the trend), then it won't be too long. A question I wonder
about is "what's the power supply need of one of these?", but I don't
think that answers at that fine a level are predictable.
Surely you jest. Vista sucks so bad that Microsoft is having to eat
crow and make it easy to escape back to Windows XP. There is nothing,
not a damn thing, revolutionary at the software level in Vista.
