Okay, so what did I miss? I just caught a portion of The Matrix Reloaded
on the satellite again yesterday, and something stuck in my mind that I hadn't
noticed before (let me insert a spoiler warning here in case you have yet to see
this one... just skip to the links of the day).
So the Architect tells Neo that they've destroyed Zion six times now, but
then later refers to Neo's five predecessors. I they've destroyed Zion six
times, wouldn't he be the seventh Neo? If there was a version of this event that
didn't include a Neo (or if the Architect was simply lying), I would hope that
would be clarified. On the other hand, if this repopulate Zion scenario took
place as he described, wouldn't the "old" Neo be part of Zion's current
populace? I guess this all speaks again to how disappointed I was in how few
further wrinkles about all this were included in Matrix Revolutions.

The Oracle isn't an actual human, it's a representation of a program that runs in the Matrix, so I wouldn't think it applies to that.
And you are right, it doesn't sound correct to say that there isn't anyone in the Matrix anymore because Smith did take over everyone.
However..... My original argument can still be intact in some way. Now lets get back to the movie a little bit here.. Agent Smith took over the Oracle, and when that happened it was visual apparent that he undertook an extreme power by doing so. Now Neo being an anamoly and all, I think it's also safe to say that he was the most powerful of them all to overtake. Another thing we know is that Neo brought some of his powers outside of the Matrix (being able to detect/control sentinels).
Maybe that was an essential part of it... By Smith actually taking over the One he can also assume the powers that Neo had in the outside world. So it wouldn't at all be ridiculous to say that Smith took more of a human form when that happened. Well we see Smith being deleted. Smith is fused with Neo.. Neo seems to be incredible fused to the Matrix (being able to use powers outside of it).
My conclusion is, when the kernel deleted Smith which overtook Neo which was fused tightly with the Matrix. It deleted Smith but at the same time deleted Neo inadverently but essentially. Back to my original formula:
Virus = Smith = Neo = Dead
If you don't agree with my reasoning please argue it, I love conversing over the events that happened throughout the Matrix movie. Not to say that I'm right, but I'd like to think I have a good grasp of what went on.
