Innovation is not possible because product managers destroy ideas at the highest levels. It's an unintended consequence that few people ever hear about at Microsoft.

Project Natal is what got Robbie Bach and J Allard fired. Of course the media heard they both retired. It's very difficult to innovate when billionaires are running the show.

WP7 is a spin off of the Zune software. That where they use words like "product synergy" and tying products together like the failed Zune with it's OLED screen that has terrible resolution but the ability to record 720p video that you cannot see on a 422x244 (resolution may be off a little) resolution.

I will say that I am quite happy with my TP2 after installing the cleanup cab. It's sad that volunteer programmers here at PPC Geeks can make a device loaded with bloatware and an underpowered CPU run quite well on 6.5

Huh? How did project Natal get them fired? Someone at Microsoft had to approve it, plus they made headlines with Natal! That was their best way to compete with Nintendo's Wii. And its 10x better than PS itoy or whatever their calling their camera based games. Please explain.
