The Microsoft Vapourization

One of the reasons Microsoft is on the way down is they gave up on shipping products. The last few things that made a blip don’t actually exist. Let’s review. There’s Surface which never could make it as a product, there’s project Natal which was announced 18 months ago for 4 months ago, Windows Phone 7 Series which will exist in real hardware at best, next Christmas and now Courier which they promise will be really awesome if it ever exists.

I can imagine Ballmer standing before the Board going “We’re going to make a killing next Christmas, just you wait. We have this really really amazing stuff just about ready to come out”.
