OMFG, flattie are you really this brain dead?
You fixate on yet another Microsoft 'innovation' that probably wont go
anywhere.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/features/foreveryone/sideshow.mspx
They're taking a Blackberry for all intents and purposes and mating it
with a laptop. How fucking ingenious. Now instead of simply carrying
around a crackberry, Microsoft wants me to carry a laptop with a secondary
display that allows me to *GASP*! "quickly view meeting schedules, phone
numbers, addresses, and recent e-mail messages without having to start up
your laptop."
What a brilliant innovation.
Why doesn't Microsoft take the next logical step and put a mouthpiece,
earpiece and a number pad on the outside of the laptop, so now you can
have another Microsoft innovation called "The Vista Lap-o-phone", simply
dial the phone number, press send and hold the 6lb laptop up to your ear
to make a phone call.
Whatever happened to the Tablet PC, I thought that innovation was the next
wave in computers. Wasn't "Plays-for-sure" another MS innovation?
