I'd really like to see a "% of the way there" when they do these videos. They're kind of like the concept cars of the applications world and there are a lot of things they could do now with existing and RSN hardware.
I mean, this is a company that is now nearly two years behind everyone else when it comes to portable device operating systems. The friggin Google phone can already scan UPCs and do online comparison shopping (demonstrated to me by a roller derby girl scanning the label on her beer bottle).
Microsoft needs to take these visionary films and GET TO WORK RIGHT NOW, rather than inspiring everyone else to get there first while they plug about with unimpressive piecemeal improvements to their existing products.
Unless Microsoft is really satisfied with being the Xerox Parc of the modern age.
