R.I.P. Microsoft Courier
Oh, Courier. We hardly knew thee.
Ok. So we never knew thee. It was more of a glimpse of a well-made rendering of possible things to come.
Seriously, Microsoft. What the heck? You leak video of a product everyone in this here blogosphere goes ga-ga over… and then you kill it?
It was what everyone wanted the iPad to be – the iPad! You would have given Apple, the company that publicly ridicules you, a serious run for its money.
You held the key to out-innovating Apple and you closed the door on it.
Of course, most of us doubted you could actually execute on such an innovative and well thought-out product anyway.
See what I did there? That’s called reverse psychology. Now get your heads straight and bring this thing to market.
