It's like 300 here! Only both sides are reduced by a couple zeros. Actually the odds aren't all that bad any way.

I predict the rise of application/xhtml+xml in conjunction mainly with web applications.

CSS3 and GPU acceleration will become much more prominent as well.

CHARGE!

I predict Opera will leave all the other browsers in the dust again, but nobody will care.

The first build of Opera 10.5 was actually very exciting for me to test out since they finally started adding CSS3 properties (besides opacity). The only thing they're missing that Gecko and WebKit already have are multi-column layout support. They've officially left Microsoft in the dust at this point with 10.5 unless Microsoft releases a beta within the next few months with some serious progress in regards to CSS3 (and border-radius alone is not going to do that). However all the browsers are really getting very interesting at this point and this decade we'll see the rise of many amazing things. :)

Well yeah, but the majority of the people don't care much about Opera. Even though Opera has always been of excellent quality, a lot of people, including Google, Facebook, etc. treat it worse than IE. I understand that the two open source engines have more support for CSS3 and some other technologies, but most of the time, if a popular website isn't working in Opera, it's not because Opera is missing feature X, but rather because Opera doesn't do something the Gecko way.

Opera is pretty big over in Europe, is it not?

There are tons of incompetent web designers working and tons of competent web designers not working...and even more web developers outsourced to do web design. I think it's more of an issue of corporations/companies not wanting to spend the time to do things correctly because they want to save up front rather then accepting that if they code correctly they save in the long term.
