Microsoft's Neo reignites the Courier twin screen dream (1 Viewer)

Interesting pair of articles. It reminds me of Kodak: large company with brilliant scientists doing worldclass R&D whose products are always killed for fear they threaten the cash cows.

Microsoft has had lot's of cool stuff in their "home of the future" and "office of the future". It just never seems to come to the real world. Part of the problem is that a lot of the tech was based on RFID which still hasn't fully matured. I wish they would launch something cool I would like to see their stock jump by $10 or so. I would like to dump it at some point.

That's the problem: they keep making "future" demos instead of today's products.

Best example of this for me is always Xerox Parc.. here they had the mouse, and a GUI.. and they just gave it away for nothing. wa-wa-wa...
