I didn’t want to put the contents of the above {quote} in a post title. I’m learning a song by the Real McKenzies, titled Bugger off. In the chorus, there’s a really nice rhythm which ends in a big “fuck you”. That is the {quote}.

I know it’s not recent news for those following Gizmodo, but for me it is. And i’m very pissed off about it. Namely, that Microsoft cancelled the Courier project (worth reading the comments, i couldn’t agree more with plenty). I know it was not confirmed nor anything, but everyone could see the videos and articles about it, which were more than promising. To be honest, it was more or less the only gadget i would’ve been waiting for had it been confirmed. Tablets and the kind are a bit of a gimmick for me, but i would’ve bought a Courier.

I really wonder. Courier’s claimed to have been just an experiment on Microsoft’s side that will be “evaluated” and used in later products. The problem is, it was good as it was. Microsoft seems to be very low on innovation. I’ve been using Windows 7 every now and then lately, and it’s hardly any different from XP except for the fancy Aero theme and the fat taskbar. Windows Phone 7 might be interesting, but not so huge news to the market either. What is MS doing? Just developing what it already has and revert back to doing nothing but Windows and Office? Nice. Go on.
