I think the thing wrong with Ms is balmer is scared of putting the wrong product out. After surface and zune, they started looking for something that would be a big hit. Everyone seems to forget that Apple had to go through some failures first and learn from the mistake before their HIT product series began.

This theory of mine makes a lot of sense considering the fact that Microsoft scrapped d courrier tablet, hesitated for a long time before putting windows phone on their home page, taking too much time with windows 8, who knows how many other products they might have scrapped.
