MS and the innovation revelation
Microsoft didn't invent the game console system either but hordes of people with too much time on their hands converged to make a boot system for the X-Box that would run a Linux variant. Not being a gamer but actually having to work for a living, I never cared if they succeeded or not.

This product is just a fancy watch that MS wants to put some type of coding on. It has a some type of vanity/geek appeal. It's like having a GPS or On-star in your car, all of the sudden people got too dumb to read a map. Sheesh, Timex had a watch that could be synched with your PC years ago well before Linux's hayday.

It's too bad my flippant reply had to turn into a serious discussion but, I'll stick with my basic analog time piece--thank you very much.
