Well, one major fact is there, despite the demo at CES, there is no actual
hardware. They admit that, so far, it's all "simulations." Anyone remember
PenWindows? Read _Barbarians Led by Bill Gates_ for an interesting take on
the PenWindows demos from someone who was actually involved in setting them up.
Until it's out, it's vaporware.
