Microsoft has a history of making bold announcements that don't bear fruit. So I no longer consider it news when Microsoft goes on stage and talks about what could be coming to market. They "could" be doing a lot of things, it doesn't mean they will succeed. I am more impressed when Microsoft releases proof, like a demo. For example, Microsoft Research's video on their Surface technology was quite impressive, and showed just what the company has been up to.
