Here we go with a string of vaporware that is supposed to be “better than” but never makes it to production.
It all sounds great, but I can’t use “supposed to be”.

” It’s in our DNA to develop new form factors and natural user interfaces to foster productivity and creativity.”
He meant it is in their DNA to find it and kill it!
What a shame, I think it was the most exciting thing MS has done in…well…ever!

form factor = shape
price point = price
is shipping = is being shipped
foster productivity and creativity = make a boatload of money
evaluated for future implementation = never see the light of day again

and so on. Did these people sleep all the way thru middle school or something?

They couldn’t possibly be paying attention to all the buzz this thing created.

Otherwise they would see that not pursuing it is not an option.
