Microsoft Cancels Innovative Courier Tablet Project

,----[ Quote ]
| According to sources familiar with the 
| matter, Microsoft has cancelled Courier, the 
| folding, two-screen prototype tablet that 
| was first uncovered by Gizmodo.
| 
| We're told that on Wednesday, Microsoft 
| execs informed the internal team that had 
| been working on the tablet device that the 
| project would no longer be supported. 
| Courier had never been publicly announced or 
| acknowledged as a Microsoft product.

Surface failed badly in the market and Microsoft wanted to axe it before arrival.
And Vista 7 ain't doing so well...

Success Delayed is Failure

,----[ Quote ]
| The last quarterly report looked good only 
| if you ignore the inclusion of deferred 
| licences from other quarters for â7â. The 
| next quarterly report will be more honest. I 
| look forward to the end of April.
