iamlucky13 writes "A minor academic debate among astronomers is the
[0]final fate of the earth. As the sun ages and enters the red giant
stage of its life, it will heat up, making the earth inhospitable. It
will also expand, driven by helium fusion so that its outer layers reach
past the earth's current orbit. Previously it had been believed that the
sun would lose enough mass to allow earth to escape to a more distant
orbit, lifeless but intact. However, new calculations, which take into
account tidal forces and drag from mass shed by the sun, suggest that the
earth will have sufficiently slowed in that time to be dragged down to
its utter destruction in 7.6 billion years. "

Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer, said on Friday(23 February) that they are

at the same time, proving that Microsoft is committed to
interoperability. Ballmer emphasized that Microsoft's new strategy is to
