I'm sure I'm not alone on this.

I guess if they took this technology and put into the tablet platform it could be something good for them down the road.
MS is looking at things 3 to 10 years down the road. Apparently, they don't like what they see so they are trying...and failing. I wouldn't put it past Microsoft to come out with a win though... It took a while for Windows 3.1 to bust out, Windows 8 is just the first iteration of a long struggle for the OS platforms of the future.
