Anybody know the real reason Courier was trashed? I'm sure it woulda been a little pricey -- with 2 screens -- but honestly, it was the first MSFT product that excited me in a long time.
Since then, I've really been turned-on by Kinect and WP7 but Courier would've been a great product.
Hell, it STILL would be.

By the time they manage to do it, PCs will be a thing of the past, desktop OSs will be a relic, the server space will be dominated by Unixes and the average user will keep only a local copy of data stored in those servers.
