Microsoft have gone virtually insane. Even the jumps in technological equipment we've had so far aren't impressive enough to beat something like that and make it believable, but as they said, it's a vision...

I believe that a lot of that is possible, but will seriously be limited not by technology but by resource availability.

The decrease in the Earth's oil resources will surely hurt the production of these technological advancements.

We just need someone to make warp drive possible then we can expect a visit from the Vulcans. It is all coming to pass, just as G.R. has predicted.
