@eleman - True. The article mentions that. But third time has always been the charm for Microsoft...

I just hope they don't get Siri envy and try to bring 'Bob' or 'Clippy' back.  :-\

Microsoft has been successful in hardware before.  Just not hardware platforms.  And I haven't been able to figure out why they haven't been able to make that connection.  I think it's a lack of commitment?
