Yes. :-)

As Will underlines, the days of v 3.0 is over. In the consumer electronics
market (which the PC industry is becoming a subset of) you don't have to
'invent' anything to be successful. This is what AAPL has taught us with its
innovation machine. The trick is in smart packaging of components and
technologies into an attractive whole. The marketplace is no longer so
forgiving, waiting for technology to be rolled out over multiple years to
reach v 3.0 and enough manufacturing partners to overwhelm alternatives as a
measure of success.

I can easily stomach Surface as technology demo. Enough there. But as a
merchandisable product? Not with multiple cameras/projectors, just the right
lighting environ, no text entry, size, interface protocols with physical
objects, etc. Too many holes to fill in.
