A busy lawyer using the next version of Windows would be able to set a computer to automatically pick up an incoming call and use an electronic calendar to tell the caller when to expect a response -- after it checks a database of client billings to make sure the person really warrants a return call.
It's not the most altruistic application ever conceived for the personal computer, at least under those circumstances, but it's one example of the advances to come in the next Windows.
