I doubt it. I like to remind people that Microsoft historically takes 3 tries to get something right.
- astrodust 13y agoThree tries later, it's dead. Zune. Windows Live. PlaysForSure. Spot watches...
- criley2 13y agoZune ideas became Windows Phone. Windows Live was rebranded. As far as Spot watches... I think I speak for many people here, "what"? Some random minor product line from a decade ago?
- pedalpete 13y agoWell, actually, they had a few kicks at Zune (2, I still love my HD) before launching Windows Phone, which would have been the 3rd kick, which is normally when they get it right. At this point, they're at kick 2 on the Phone, and making progress, but still have a long way to go.
- astrodust 13y agoSpot was Microsoft's attempt to kick-start the "internet of things": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spot_watch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spot_watch Once again another thing where Microsoft was in the right place at the wrong time, and didn't follow-through on their initial work, instead leaving it in the ditch so that years later the press can be worked into a frothy fever over this very thing. Apple did this with the Newton, it's true, but lately they've shown a lot more discipline in only launching things they're absolutely committed to. There hasn't been a Mac Cube in a long time.
