"I can't remember a Microsoft product that was genuinely pioneering something."
Surface and Natal comes to my mind. But then again, I've seen both only in videos.
- rbanffy 17y agoNatal is not a product yet. It has been demoed in controlled scenarios and it has been announced that it will hit the market by the end of this year. Wanna bet it won't? Surface appears heavily inspired by Jeff Han's TED presentation or a Reactable (I am sure both came first). Calling it a shipping product is somewhat of a stretch. It's more like a tech demonstrator you can buy, if they are willing to sell you one and you are willing to pay what they want for it. Call me skeptical, but I am only counting products that you can buy at a computer store or download or use through the web.
