consumers say no to the all in one digital living room
There simply is no market for this crap, as Jobs rightly predicted not too long ago. Most everyone already has all these items by themselves. Why would people throw away all their stuff (that already has been doing the job) and buy some expensive piece of junk? It's juts not going to happen, especially if it is Microsoft behind it.

"We've learned over the years that by building a very open ecosystem, you offer more to the consumer," he said. "You'll be able to go to a lot of different vendors and connect these things in interesting ways, to consume media the way you want to."

This crap has really become very unfunny. This idiot needs to be shot.
