Goofy nerd stuff Microsoft

You've probably seen the images and promos for Microsoft Origami product (leaked video here). The ad geniuses at D-Kitchen put it up on their portfolio page before the product launch, which might take them off the "preferred vendors" list...

Oh, and please guys - don't call this thing "Windows Live Handheld Device". Microsoft's recently perfected the process of turning cool codenames into lifeless product names. Please don't do that with this thing...

UPDATE: So the official name is Ultra Mobile PC? Sigh...

Between Subscriptions, XBox360 and Origami MS will be getting a good chunk of my cash this year. Hmm, what will this do to IPod?

Amen to all of that. Leakers should be fired, alright, but the marketing deparment at MFST should *punished*. C'mon, their recent record is nothing short of stellar: Avalon to Windows Presentation Foundation, Indigo to Windows Communications Foundation. Now from Origami to Ultra-Mobile PC.

Argh.
