And they sound even sillier and shriller, if that's possible. :) And I've taken some to task for trashing something that can't be evaluated yet.

Like I said, I like the design and think if it's marketed well, it has a decent chance in the marketplace. If you check my posting history, I've been saying for months that Microsoft should get the lead out and put something on the market that can compete credibly with the Apple juggernaut. So I'm happy to see this getting brought to the public attention. I just wish it was REAL, like in a few weeks instead of a few seasons.

I understand. But I think you need to consider that a large part of their target market is business, and they're not much given to impulse purchases. You have to get them thinking about your product while they're still working up next year's budget and deplyment/upgrade maps.
