@professoress: the surface RT is only shitty in relative terms. It's a decent first go for a new product but it was never going to stand up to the ipad or the best android tablets. Especially for the same price. They didnt have enough developer support and couldn't convince people that it mattered.
Seems like everyone wants to compete in every category these days, but there was no real reason for Microsoft to even create the RT. more of an argument can be made for the pro version, but that thing isn't mind blowing either.
I'm sure the next iterations will be much better, but it will most likely die out in the next few years. The Zune was a better product, especially the last generation version. People just didnt care because there wasnt enough of a reason to.
The first kinect was a success in terms of sales, but it didnt live up to performance expectations. Hopefully this new one will be as good as they are saying it is. I personally don't mind it becoming a glorified Skype camera, but I would disappointed if we didnt see it work in the way it was originally intended to.
