"This Ultra Portable thing is Microsoft Bob, but with chips" Not THAT is very funny. But what is wrong with Mr. Cut and Paste is that I know he is a Microsoft Hater. Couple this with the fact that he presented an article with no sound reasoning, Couple this with all the Lame-oes that bad mouth any Microsoft product For Instance when Win 98 came out all these assholes were going on and on with all these little criticism saying how bad the program was while it was selling 100 MILLION copies a week. This is a niche product, and actually the "sale" is to the OEM and it appears MS has therefore "sold" about 6 Million of these Origamis based on in-house pre-order. You want to say that is a failure? I think your analysis is at best, misplaced. The tablet was awkward, but this is sort of a wireless Jornado that talks like a phone. The market for something like this WITH A WORKABLE INPUT MECHANISM IS GIGANTIC. Of course, that will be voice activation, but we are not there yet, so this becomes the next logical step. Your, VERY GOOD jokes, aside.
