OK, maybe MSFT should first get their very real, here-and-now operating systems under control. No wonder MSFT Research has so little to show for all the billions they've spent, if this is the predominant stuff they are working on.

Please. They haven't even solved how to write normal software in ways that consistently surpass 3rd generation programming languages, so spare us...

Also, maybe MSFT should research basic branding principles, that might help their company and products a lot more in the next few years:

Did anyone catch what device (Sony made I think) that Craig used in his demo as a "smart hand held devlce" representative of where cell phones would be?
